Woo, woo, woo
Train number one is gone
Train number two is gone
Train number three is been gone
Now how long must I wait for you
Uh, all right
Time I laid my handkerchief on the floor
I'm getting ready to crawl, yeah
I'm getting down on my knees
I'm getting ready to crawl, yeah
I said, ooh, wee, the Memphis train
Hey, now, now, now, now
Ooh, wee, the Memphis train
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Train number one is gone
Train number two is gone
Train number three is been gone
Now how long must I wait for you, all right
Uh, oh, shucks, uh
Ooh, wee, the Memphis train
Hey, now, now, now, now
Ooh, wee, it's a Memphis train
Yeah, oh, got me going now
