Hey Porter Full Lyrics

[00:00.30] Hey, Porter, Hey Porter! [00:09.54] Would you tell me the time? [00:11.55] How much longer will it be [00:13.60] 'Til we cross that Mason Dixon Line? [00:15.72] At daylight would you tell that engineer to slow it down [00:19.62] Or better still, just stop the train [00:22.05] 'Cause I want to look around [00:24.12] Hey, Porter! Hey Porter! [00:26.96] What time did you say? [00:28.90] How much longer will it be [00:30.99] 'Till I can see the light of day? [00:33.26] When we hit Dixie will you tell that engineer to ring his bell [00:37.28] And ask everybody that ain't asleep to stand right up and yell [00:41.79] Hey, Porter! Hey Porter! [01:02.05] It's getting light outside [01:04.44] This old train is puffin' smoke and I have to strain my eyes [01:08.64] But ask that engineer if he will blow his whistle please [01:12.64] 'Cause I smell frost on cotton leaves [01:15.24] And I feel that Southern breeze [01:17.88] Hey, Porter! Hey, Porter! [01:20.04] Please get my bags for me [01:22.21] I need nobody to tell me now that we're in Tennessee [01:26.37] Go tell that engineer to make that lonesome whistle scream [01:30.42] We're not so far from home so take it easy on the steam [01:35.32] Hey Porter! Hey Porter! [01:55.54] Please open up the door [01:57.56] When they stop this train I'm gonna get off first [01:59.97] 'Cause I can't wait no more [02:01.89] Tell that engineer I said, "Thanks a lot, and I didn't mind the fare" [02:05.68] I'm gonna set my feet on Southern soil [02:08.22] And breathe that Southern air [02:13.42]
