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