Verse 1
(G major) (F major) Hey, Porter
Hey Porter
Would you tell me the time?
How much longer will it be
'Til we cross that (G major) Mason Dixon (C major) Line?
At (F major) daylight would you tell that
engineer to slow it down (B flat major)
Or better still, (F major) just stop the train
'Cause (C major) I want to look around (F major)
Verse 2
Hey, (F major) Porter
Hey, Porter
What time did you say?
How much longer will it (C major) be
'Til I can see the light (G major) of (C major) day?
When (F major) we hit Dixie will you tell
that engineer to ring his (B flat major) bell
And ask everybody that ain't (F major) asleep to stand
right (C major) up and (F major) yell

Verse 3
Hey, (F major) Porter
Hey, Porter
It's getting light outside
This old train is puffin' smoke (C major)
and I (G major) have to strain my (C major) eyes
But (F major) ask that engineer if he will blow
his whistle (B flat major) please
'Cause I smell (F major) frost on cotton leaves
And I (C major) feel that Southern (F major) breeze
Verse 4
Hey, Porter Hey, (F major)
Porter
Please get my bags for me
I need nobody to tell me now that
(G major) we're in Tenness (C major) ee
Go tell (F major) that engineer to make that
lonesome whistle scream (B flat major)
We're not so far (F major) from home so take it
(C major) easy on the steam

Hey, Porter Hey, Porter (F major)
Please open up the door
When they stop this train I'm
gonna get off first
'Cause (G major) I can't wait no (C major) more
Tell that (F major) engineer I say,
Thanks a lot and I didn't
mind the fare (B flat major)
I'm gonna set my (F major) feet on Southern soil
And (C major) breathe that Southern (F major) air
