I’m riding on that Memphis Special
I’m riding on that Memphis Train
I’m on my way to see my darlin
And I won’t ever leave again
That whistle used to make me lonesome
But now it seems to sing a song
It’s singin’ ’bout my blue eyed darlin
And how she’s waiting for so long
Please engineer open the throttle
Fireman shovel on the coal
And when that porter hollers Memphis
Her smiling face I’ll see once more
