1
Hey porter! Hey porter! Would you tell me the time
2
How much longer will it be 'til we cross
3
That Mason--Dixon Line
4
At daylight would ya tell that engineer
5
To slow it down
6
Or better still just stop the train
7
'Cause I wanna look around
8
Hey porter! Hey porter! What time did ya say
9
How much longer will it be till I can
10
See the light of day?
11
When we hit Dixie will you tell that engineer
12
To ring his bell
13
And ask everybody that ain't asleep
14
To stand right up and yell
15
Hey porter! Hey porter! It's getting light outside
16
This old train is puffin' smoke
17
And I have to strain my eyes
18
But ask that engineer if he will
19
Blow his whistle please
20
'Cause I smell frost on cotton leaves
21
And I feel that Southern breeze
22
Hey porter! Hey porter! Please get my bags for me
23
I need nobody to tell me now
24
That we're in Tennessee
25
Go tell that engineer to make that
26
Lonesome whistle scream
27
We're not so far from home
28
So take it easy on the steam
29
Hey porter! Hey porter! Please open up the door
30
When they stop the train I'm gonna get off first
31
'Cause I can't wait no more
32
Tell that engineer I said thanks alot
33
And I didn't mind the fare
34
I'm gonna set my feet on Southern soil
35
And breathe that Southern air
