Hey Porter Johnny Cash
Hey porter hey [C]porter would you tell me the time
How much longer will it be till we cross that[G7] Mason Dixon line
At d[C]aylight would you tell that engineer to [F]slow it down
Or better still just [C]stop the train cause [G7]I want to look a[C]round
Hey porter hey porter what time did you say
How much longer will it be till I can [G7]see the light of day
When we hit [C]Dixie will you tell that [F]engineer to ring his bell
And ask everybody that ain't [C]asleep to [G7]stand right up and [C]yell
Hey porter hey porter it's getting light outside
This ole train is puffing smoke and [G7]I have to strain my eyes
But ask that [C]engineer if he will [F]blow his whistle please
Cause I smell [C]frost on cotton leaves and I [G7]feel that southern [C]breeze
Hey porter hey porter please get my bags for me
I need nobody to tell me now that [G7]we're in Tennessee
Go tell that [C]engineer to make that [F]lonesome whistle scream
We're not so [C]far from home so take it [G7]easy on the [C]steam
Hey porter hey porter please open up the door
When they stop the train I want to get off first [G7]cause I can't wait no more
Tell that [C]engineer I said thanks a lot and[F] I didn't mind the fare
I'm gonna sat my [C]feet on southern soil and [G7]breathe that southern [C]air
