Lyrics
0:05Hey porter
0:06Hey porter
0:07Would you tell me the time
0:10How much longer will it be till we cross that Mason Dixon Line
0:13At daylight would ya tell that engineer to slow it down
0:17Or better still just stop the train
0:19Cause I wanna look around
0:22Hey porter
0:23Hey porter
0:25What time did you say
0:27How much longer will it be till I can see the light of day
0:31When we hit Dixie will you tell that engineer to ring his bell
0:34And ask everybody that ain't asleep to stand right up and yell
0:56Hey porter
0:57Hey porter
0:58It's getting light outside
1:00This old train is puffing smoke and I have to strain my eyes
1:04But ask that engineer if you will blow his whistle please
1:08Cause I smell frost on cotton leaves and I feel that Southern breeze
1:13Hey porter
1:14Hey porter
1:15Please get my bags for me
1:17I need nobody to tell me now that we're in Tennessee
1:21Tell Go that engineer to make that lonesome whistle scream
1:25We're not so far from home so take it easy on the steam
1:47Hey porter
1:47Hey porter
1:49Please open up the door
1:51When they stop the train I'm gonna get off first
1:53Cause I can't wait no more
1:54Tell that engineer I said thanks a lot and I didn't mind the fare
1:58I'm gonna set my feet on
2:00Southern soil and breathe that Southern air
Hey porter Hey porter Would you tell me the time How much longer will it be till we cross that Mason Dixon Line At daylight would ya tell that engineer to slow it down Or better still just stop the train Cause I wanna look around Hey porter Hey porter What time did you say How much longer will it be till I can see the light of day When we hit Dixie will you tell that engineer to ring his bell And ask everybody that ain't asleep to stand right up and yell Hey porter Hey porter It's getting light outside This old train is puffing smoke and I have to strain my eyes But ask that engineer if you will blow his whistle please Cause I smell frost on cotton leaves and I feel that Southern breeze Hey porter Hey porter Please get my bags for me I need nobody to tell me now that we're in Tennessee Tell Go that engineer to make that lonesome whistle scream We're not so far from home so take it easy on the steam Hey porter Hey porter Please open up the door When they stop the train I'm gonna get off first Cause I can't wait no more Tell that engineer I said thanks a lot and I didn't mind the fare I'm gonna set my feet on Southern soil and breathe that Southern air
