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 arive at eleven then I'll be shoutin' hallelujah.
Have you failed in your plan of your storm caused life. Bless your hand in the nail scarred hand. Are you weary and worn from its tort and strife. Bless your hand in the nail scarred hand.
I knew my lonely heart was sad and blue. I knew that it was yearning for a smile. But how was I to know that one from you. Would start my lonely heart to runnin' wild.
Can I depend on your light pretty moon while I'm holding her tight silver moon. Will you be there above helping me win my love. And I depend on your light Mr Moon.
More and more I'm forgettin' the past more and more I'm livin' at last. Day by day I'm losin' my blues more and more I'm forgettin' bout you. But oh how hard I tried to keep you by my side.
We were waiting at the church we watched and saw the weddin' start. As the organ played we stood there and prayed just me and my broken heart. So can't you see that you have done to me oh foolish foolish pride.
Well, I like kiss every mornin', a kiss every night. A whole mess of hugs in between. 'Cause lovin' is livin' and you ain't really livin'. Till you learn what lovin' can mean.
So long we've been married, life's burdens we carried. Though they kept us humble and made our love true. The plans that we made up, someone seems to break up.
I thought I knew everything I thought you'd wear my weddin' ring. But now I see our love can't be look what thoughts done to me. I thought I could run around and still be the one to wear the crown.
They tell me that you're going away what makes you want to leave. You gave me your love you gave me your vows now you're leaving me here to grieve. Live and let live don't break my heart don't leave me here to cry.
Today my heart is burden I'm back to settle down. I saw the bright lights of the city I'd have all the joys of town. But there was something missing while I was roamin' round.
Take your little lips and kiss me take your little arms and squeeze me. Let's live a little before we say goodbye. I'll draw my money out of the bank I'll buy you roses and pretty things.
Darling this is my desire, set your little old heart on fire. Do the things that lovers always do. So put your little hand in mine I buy you diamond ring so fine.
A heart may be fickle and words may deceive. But when you love someone you try to believe. That love is as true as the stars in the sky. Believe what you want to, but kisses don't lie.
You tell me I'm too shy, a bashful sort of guy. But wait till I get you alone. I'm bolder than you know, my arms will tell you so. Just wait till I get you alone.
Mother Nature's opened up the door. To lots of things I never saw before. It's a lovely, lovely world since I've met you. . Never did see everything lookin' so nice.
If you want it baby hmm I've got it I got most anything you want. You call it baby hmm I've got it I got most anything you want. . If it's lots of money and if it's lots of fun.
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold. I'd have all the treasures my pockets would hold. I'd be oh so wealthy with treasures untold. If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold.
When you called me and said you had to see me. I thought you meant to start our life anew. But you told me you would wed tomorrow. And you just wanted one last rendezvous.
When the Saviour calls I will answer when he calls for me I will hear. When the Saviour calls I will answer I'll be somewhere listening for my name. I'll be somewhere (listening) I'll be somewhere (listening).
