[Intro]
E E E E

Hey,Porter,Hey Porter! Would you tell me the time?
F#7 B7
How much longer will it be 'til we cross that Mason Dixon Line?
E A
At daylight will you tell that engineer to slow it down;
E B7 E
Or better still, just stop the train 'cause I want to look around.

Hey, Porter! Hey Porter! What time did you say?
F#7 B7
How much longer will it be 'till I can see the light of day?
E A
When we hit Dixie will you tell that engineer to ring his bell;
E B7 E
And ask everybody that ain't asleep to stand rightup and yell.

Hey, Porter! Hey Porter! It's getting light outside.
F#7 B7
This old train is puffin' smoke and I have to strain my eyes.
E A
But ask that engineer if he will blow his whistle please,
E B7 E
Cause I smell frost on cotton leaves, and I feel that Southern breeze.

Hey, Porter! Hey, Porter! Please get my bags for me,
F#7 B7
I need nobody to tell me now that we're in Tennessee
E A
Go tell that engineer to make that lonesome whistle scream.
E B7 E
We're not so far from home so take it easy on the steam

[Solo 2]
E E E E E E F#7 B7 E E E A A E B7 E

E
Hey Porter! Hey Porter! Please open up my door

When they stop this train I'm gonna get off first
F#7 B7
cause I can't wait no more.
E A
Tell that engineer I say, "Thanks a lot. I didn't mind the fare
E B7 E
I'm gonna set my feet on Southern soil and breathe that Southern air."
