"Memphis Train" lyrics

"Memphis Train"
(originally by Rufus Thomas)

(One, two
One, two, three...)

Ay!
It's a Memphis train, now
(Ooh, whee
The Memphis train)
That's right, baby
(Ooh, whee
The Memphis train)
Here we come
(Ooh, whee)
Ha, the Memphis train
(Ooh, whee)
The Memphis train

Now
I say

Train number one is gone
Train number two is gone
Train number three is been gone
How long must I wait for you

Come on, come on, come on
Hey!
Uh, shut down, baby
(Ooh)

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

Ooh, whee
The Memphis train
Ooh, whee
The Memphis train

Train number one is gone
Train number two is gone
Train number three is been gone
How long must I wait for you

Oh, the Memphis train
Oh, the Memphis train
Yeah!
Tell me, tell me
How long must I wait for you?
Tell me, babe
How long must I wait for you?
Tell me, tell me now
How long must I wait for you?
Ha, well
How long, how long, how long, how long, how long, how long
Oh
The Memphis train
Ah, ah
Ooh, whee
The Memphis train

Train number three is gone

Oh, the Memphis train
Come on, come on
Oh, the Memphis train

Alright, let's go
Here we go

Hey, hey
Come on

(Oooh)
