Lyrics

There ain't no star light there ain't no moon light
Just some sisters singing for loose change

Waiting on the night train to leave everything
Nowhere to go but I gotta go just the same

I'll miss the music up and down Beale street
But the choir I hear singing is a whistle blow

So sing me a song little sisters
And I'll head home where the lonely people go

Waiting on the night train leaving Memphis
Headed south bound for New Orleans
I know it's the right thing leaving Memphis
But I'm leaving everything that's dear to me

Waiting on the night train and seeing everything
How every moment came and went like the rain

There ain't no music playing on Beale street
Just a choir singing a long sad refrain

So sing me a song little sisters
And I'll move on with just this stone to my name

Waiting on the night train leaving Memphis
Headed south bound for New Orleans
I know it's the right thing leaving Memphis
But I'm leaving everything that's dear to me
That's dear to me
