Dolly Parton

[Verse 1]
Take that night train to Memphis take that night train to Memphis
You know how I'm longing to see you
Leave that 3-50-7 and arrive at eleven then I'll be sitting hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah I'll be shouting hallelujah all the day
Oh we'll have a jubilee down in Memphis Tennessee
And we'll shout hallelujah all the day

[Verse 2]
Take that night train to Memphis take that night train to Memphis
And when you arrive at the station
I'll be right there to meet you I'll be right there to greet you
So don't turn down my invitation
Hallelujah hallelujah

[Verse 3]
Take that night train to Memphis take that night train to Memphis
Tell that engineer to pull a throttle open
Keep that engine stack a Smoking I'm not kidding I'm not joking
And I'll soon be with my girl I'm hoping
Hallelujah hallelujah
Shouting hallelujah all the day

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
