[00:05.50] Hey porter! Hey porter!
[00:07.57] Would you tell me the time?
[00:09.69] How much longer will it be 'til we cross that Mason Dixon Line?
[00:13.72] At daylight would ya tell that engineer to slow it down?
[00:17.39] Or better still, just stop the train
[00:19.67] Because I want to look around
[00:21.91]
[00:23.13] Hey porter! Hey porter!
[00:24.88] What time did you say?
[00:26.63] How much longer will it be 'til I can see the light of day?
[00:30.66] When we hit Dixie will you tell that engineer to ring his bell?
[00:34.89] And ask everybody that ain't asleep to stand right up and yell
[00:39.10]
[00:56.26] Hey porter! Hey porter!
[00:58.26] It's getting light outside
[01:00.17] This old train is puffing smoke
[01:02.36] And I have to strain my eyes
[01:04.19] But ask that engineer if he will blow his whistle please
[01:08.11] 'Cause I smell frost on cotton leaves
[01:10.26] And I feel that Southern breeze
[01:12.22]
[01:13.47] Hey porter! Hey porter!
[01:15.39] Please get my bags for me
[01:17.02] I need nobody to tell me now that we're in Tennessee
[01:20.94] Go tell that engineer to make that lonesome whistle scream
[01:24.98] We're not so far from home
[01:26.89] So take it easy on the steam
[01:29.20]
[01:47.06] Hey porter! Hey porter!
[01:48.61] Please open up the door
[01:50.53] When they stop the train I'm going to get off first
[01:52.81] Because I can't wait no more
[01:54.80] Tell that engineer I said thanks a lot
[01:56.83] And I didn't mind the fare
[01:58.55] I'm going to set my feet on Southern soil
[02:00.54] And breathe that Southern air
