Hey porter  hey porter would you tell me the time
                                                            A
How much longer will it be till we cross that Mason Dixon line
                                                      E    
At daylight would you tell that engineer to slow it down 
                                B7                          E                      
Or better still just stop the train cause I want to look around 
 E 
Hey porter  hey porter what time did you say
                                                        A 
How much longer will it be till I can see the light of day
                                                           E             
When we hit Dixie will you tell that engineer to ring his bell
                               B7                          E
And ask everybody that ain't asleep to stand right up and yell

Hey porter  hey porter it's getting light outside
                                                         A
This ole train is puffing smoke and I have to strain my eyes
                                                    E              
But ask that engineer if he will blow his whistle please
                                B7                              E               
Cause I smell frost on cotton leaves and I feel that southern breeze
E 
Hey porter  hey porter please get my bags for me
                                               A
I need nobody to tell me now that we're in Tennessee
                                                       E             
Go tell that engineer to make that lonesome whistle scream
                               B7                   E             
We're not so far from home so take it easy on the steam

Hey porter  hey porter please open up the door
                                                                        A 
When they stop the train I want to get off first cause I can't wait no more
                                                              E           
Tell that engineer I said thanks a lot and I didn't mind the fare
                                             B7                   E                  
I'm gonna sat my feet on southern soil and breathe that southern air
