Lyrics

[00:03.46]
[00:05.97] Hey porter!
[00:06.65] Hey porter!
[00:07.77] Would you tell me the time?
[00:10.14] How much longer will it be till we cross that Mason Dixon Line?
[00:14.01] At daylight would ya tell that engineer to slow it down?
[00:16.88]
[00:18.00] Or better still, just stop the train,
[00:20.12] Cause I wanna look around.
[00:21.65]
[00:23.08] Hey porter!
[00:23.90] Hey porter!
[00:25.47] What time did you say?
[00:27.22] How much longer will it be till I can see the light of day?
[00:31.09] When we hit Dixie will you tell that engineer to ring his bell?
[00:34.02]
[00:34.91] And ask everybody that ain't asleep to stand right up and yell.
[00:39.90]
[00:56.82] Hey porter!
[00:57.63] Hey porter!
[00:58.75] It's getting light outside.
[01:00.81] This old train is puffin' smoke, and I have to strain my eyes.
[01:03.93] But ask that engineer if he will blow his whistle please.
[01:08.55] Cause I smell frost on cotton leaves and I feel that Southern breeze.
[01:13.85] Hey porter!
[01:14.60] Hey porter!
[01:15.61] Please get my bags for me.
[01:17.64] I need nobody to tell me now that we're in Tennessee.
[01:21.51] tell Go that engineer to make that lonesome whistle scream,
[01:24.19]
[01:25.58] We're not so far from home so take it easy on the steam.
[01:30.26]
[01:47.51] Hey porter!
[01:48.19] Hey porter!
[01:49.19] Please open up the door.
[01:51.13] When they stop the train I'm gonna get off first
[01:53.37] Cause I can't wait no more.
[01:55.05] Tell that engineer I said thanks alot, and I didn't mind the fare.
[01:58.92] I'm gonna set my feet on
[02:00.30] Southern soil and breathe that Southern air.
