r2e52010 162724jee18p
[Johnny Cash]
r2e52010 162724jee18p
[C] - [G] - [F]
r2e52010 162724jee18p

r2e52010 162724jee18p
[C] Hey, Porter, Hey Porter! Would you tell me the [F] time?
r2e52010 162724jee18p
[C] How much longer will it be 'til we cross that [G] Mason Dixon Line? [C]
r2e52010 162724jee18p
At daylight would you tell the engineer to slow it [F] down
r2e52010 162724jee18p
Or better still, just stop the train 'cause I [G] wanna look a [C] round.
r2e52010 162724jee18p

r2e52010 162724jee18p
Hey, Porter! Hey Porter! What time did you say ?
r2e52010 162724jee18p
How much longer will it be 'till I can see the light of day ?
r2e52010 162724jee18p
When we hit Dixie would ya tell the engineer to ring his bell
r2e52010 162724jee18p
And tell everybody that ain't asleep to stand right up and yell.
r2e52010 162724jee18p

r2e52010 162724jee18p
Hey, Porter! Hey, Porter! Please, go on and get my bags for me,
r2e52010 162724jee18p
I don't need nobody to tell me now that I'm in Tennessee.
r2e52010 162724jee18p
We're not so far from home, you know, and it's a-getting light outside
r2e52010 162724jee18p
This old train is a-puffin' smoke and I have to strain in my eyes
r2e52010 162724jee18p

r2e52010 162724jee18p
Hey Porter! Hey Porter! Please open up the door.
r2e52010 162724jee18p
When they stop this train I'm gonna get off first 'cause I can't wait no more.
r2e52010 162724jee18p
Tell the engineer I say, Thanks a lot. And I didn't mind the fare.
r2e52010 162724jee18p
I'm gonna set my feet on Southern soil, I'm gonna breathe the Southern air.
