[Verse 1]
Train, train
Going to take him on out of this town
Train, train
Going to take him on out of this town
Yeah, that man I'm in love with
Lord, he's Memphis bound
He's leaving here
Like a raggedy old coat
Oh, he's leaving me
That no good so-and-so
Yeah, that man I'm in love with
Lord, he wants to go
Let him go

[Verse 2]
Good-bye, good-bye
I'll find myself another man
Good-bye, good-bye
I'll find myself another man
You take that night train to Memphis
Me, I'll make new plans
Take that night train to Memphis
Oh leave while you can

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
