Hey Porter, hey Porter, would you tell me the time How much longer will it be 'til we cross that Mason-Dixon line When we hit Dixie would 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, what time did you say How much longer will it be 'til I can see the light of day When we hit Dixie would you tell that engineer to slow it down Better still just stop the train 'cause I'd like to look around Hey Porter, hey Porter, it's gettin' light outside This old train is puffin' smoke and I have to strain my eyes But ask that engineer if he would blow his whistle please I smell frost on cotton leaves and I feel that southern breeze Hey Porter, hey Porter, get my bags for me I need nobody to tell me now that we're in Tennessee Go tell that engineer to make that lonesome whistle scream We're gettin' close to home so take it easy on the steam Hey Porter, hey Porter, please open up the door When they stop this 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 fair Gonna set my feet on southern soil and breathe that southern air Hey Porter, hey Porter, would you tell me the time How much longer will it be 'til we cross that Mason-Dixon line When we hit Dixie would you tell that engineer to ring his bell Ask everybody that ain't asleep to stand right up and yell
