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
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 qun' smoke

And I have to strain my eyes
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 my door

When they stop this train
I'm gonna get offf'lrst

'Cause I can't wait no more
Tell that engineer I say

Thanks a lot I didn't mind the fare
I'm gonna s'et my feet
0n Southern soil

And breathe that Southern air
