Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]Hey[F] Porter, hey Porter,
would you tell me the time?
How much longer will it be
till we cross that [G]Mason -Dixon [C]line?
At [F]daylight,
would you tell that engineer
to slow [Bb]it down?
Or better [F]still, just stop the train,
cause [C]I want to look a[F]round.
Hey Porter, hey Porter,
what time did you say?
How much longer will it be
till [C]I can see t[G]he light of d[C]ay?
When [F]we hit Dixie,
will you tell that engineer to ring his [Bb]bell?
And ask everybody that [F]ain't asleep
to [C]stand right up and [F]yell?
[G][C][F][Dm][Bb][F]
[C][F]
Hey porter, hey porter,
it's [C]getting light [F]outside
This old train is puffin' smoke
[C]and I hav[G]e to strain my eye[C]s
But [F]ask that engineer
if he will blow his Whistle [Bb]please,
cause I smell [F]frost on cotton leaves
and I [C]feel that southern [F]breeze
Hey Porter, hey Porter,
please get my bags for me
I need nobody to tell me
now that [G]we're in Tenness[C]ee
Go [F]tell that engineer
to make that lonesome whistle scream
[Bb]We're not so far from home
[F]so take it eas[C]y on the ste[F]am
[G][C][F][Dm][Bb][F]
Hey Porter, hey Porter,
please open up the door
When they stop this train
I'm gonna get off first
Cause I can't [G]wait no [C]more
Tell that [F]engineer [C]I said t[F]hanks a lot
And I didn't mind a [Bb]fair
I'm gonna set my [F]feet on southern soil
and [C]breathe that southern
air[F].

[Outro 1]
