| Lyrics: | (Johnny Cash)
(C) - (G) - (F)
(C) Hey, Porter, Hey Porter! Would you tell me the (F)
time?
(C) How much longer will it be 'til we cross that (G) Mason Dixon Line? (C)
At
daylight would you tell the engineer to slow it (F) down;
Or better still, just stop the train
'cause I (G) wanna look a (C) round.
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 would ya
tell the engineer to ring his bell;
And tell everybody that ain't asleep to stand right up and
yell.
Hey, Porter! Hey, Porter! Please, go on and get my bags for me,
I don't need
nobody to tell me now that I'm in Tennessee.
We're not so far from home, you know, and it's
a-getting light outside
This old train is a-puffin' smoke and I have to strain in my eyes
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 the engineer I say, |
