Hey Porter

Hey Porter
by Johnny Cash
C
Hey porter  hey porter would you tell me the time
                                             G7
How much longer will it be till we cross that Mason Dixon line
    C                                       F
At daylight would you tell that engineer to slow it down 
                     C                    G7              C
Or better still just stop the train cause I want to look around 
 
 
Hey porter  hey porter what time did you say
                                      G7
How much longer will it be till I can see the light of day
            C                        F
When we hit Dixie will you tell that engineer to ring his bell
                             C         G7                 C
And ask everybody that ain't asleep to stand right up and yell
 
Hey porter  hey porter it's getting light outside
                                    G7
This ole train is puffing smoke and I have to strain my eyes
             C                   F
But ask that engineer if he will blow his whistle please
              C                            G7                 C
Cause I smell frost on cotton leaves and I feel that southern breeze
 
Hey porter  hey porter please get my bags for me
                                  G7
I need nobody to tell me now that we're in Tennessee
             C                     F 
Go tell that engineer to make that lonesome whistle scream
             C                        G7          C
We're not so far from home so take it easy on the steam
 
Hey porter  hey porter please open up the door
                                                 G7
When they stop the train I want to get off first cause I can't wait no more
          C                               F
Tell that engineer I said thanks a lot and I didn't mind the fare
                 C                         G7                    C
I'm gonna sat my feet on southern soil and breathe that southern air
