Verse 1
(C major) Hey Porter, hey Porter,
would you tell me the time?
How much longer would it be
to cross that (D major) Mason -Dixon line? (G major)
When (C major) we hit Dixie,
would you tell that engineer
to ring his (F major) bell?
And ask everybody that (C major) ain't asleep (G major)
to stand right up and (C major) yell.
Hey Porter, hey Porter,
what time did you say?
How much longer will it be
till I can see (D major) the light of (G major) day?
When we (C major) hit Dixie,
will you tell that engineer
to slow it down? (F major)
Better still just (C major) stop the train,
(G major) cause I'd like to look around. (C major)
(D major) (G major) (C major) (F major) (C major)
(G major) (C major)
Hey Porter, hey Porter,
it's getting light outside
This old train is puffin' smoke
and I (D major) have to strain my (G major) eyes
But I (C major) ask that engineer
if he will blow his whistle please (F major)
I smell frost on (C major) cotton leaves
(G major) and I feel
Let's love and (C major) breathe

(C major)
Hey Porter, hey Porter,

When they stop this train
I'm gonna get off first
Cause (D major) I can't wait no more
(G major) Tell (C major) that engineer, said thanks a lot
And I didn't mind a fair
(F major) Gonna set my feet on (C major) southern soil
And (G major) breathe the southern (C major) air
