gonna take a train to memphis tenessee
to the place i love that was home to me
back to all my folks friends and family
to the place i love that is calling me

see again my memories locked in side my mind
stop my drifting ways leave it all behind
home again once more where i used to be
to my home sweet home in memphis tennesee

settle down for good home again once more
to the place i love where i was before
back to all my folks friends and family
the place where i was raised in memphis tenesee

gonna take a train to memphis tenessee
to the place i love that was home to me
back to all my folks friends and family
to the place i love that is calling me
