2
Hey Porter, hey Porter, would you tell me the time
3
How much longer will it be 'til we cross that Mason-Dixon line
4
When we hit Dixie would you tell that engineer to ring his bell
5
And ask everybody that ain't asleep to stand right up and yell
6
Hey Porter, hey Porter, what time did you say
7
How much longer will it be 'til I can see the light of day
8
When we hit Dixie would you tell that engineer to slow it down
9
Better still just stop the train 'cause I'd like to look around
10
Hey Porter, hey Porter, it's gettin' light outside
11
This old train is puffin' smoke and I have to strain my eyes
12
But ask that engineer if he would blow his whistle please
13
I smell frost on cotton leaves and I feel that southern breeze
14
Hey Porter, hey Porter, get my bags for me
15
I need nobody to tell me now that we're in Tennessee
16
Go tell that engineer to make that lonesome whistle scream
17
We're gettin' close to home so take it easy on the steam
18
Hey Porter, hey Porter, please open up the door
19
When they stop this train, I'm gonna get off first 'cause I can't wait no more
20
Tell that engineer I said thanks a lot and I didn't mind the fair
21
Gonna set my feet on southern soil and breathe that southern air
22
Hey Porter, hey Porter, would you tell me the time
23
How much longer will it be 'til we cross that Mason-Dixon line
24
When we hit Dixie would you tell that engineer to ring his bell
25
Ask everybody that ain't asleep to stand right up and yell
