Hey Porter

Hey, Porter! Hey Porter! Would you tell me the time?
 How much longer will it be 'til we cross that Mason Dixon Line?
 At daylight, would you tell that engineer to slow it down?
 Or better still, just stop the train 'cause I want to look around
 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, 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 puffin' smoke and I have to strain my eyes
 But ask that engineer if he 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
 Go tell 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 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 fare"
 I'm gonna set my feet on southern soil and breathe that southern air
