[Intro]
---------------------
F

[Verse 1]
---------------------
    F
Hey porter! Hey porter!
Would you tell me the time?
How much longer will it be till we cross
     G7         C7
That Mason Dixon Line?
   F
At daylight would ya tell that engineer
                A#
To slow it down?
                      F
Or better still, just stop the train
        C7                   F
'Cause I  want to look around

[Verse 2]
---------------------
    F
Hey porter! Hey porter!
What time did you say?
How much longer will it be till I can
G7              C7
See the light of day?
     F
When we hit Dixie will you tell that engineer
            A#
To ring his bell?
                       F
And ask everybody that ain't asleep
        C7             F
To stand  right up and yell

[Solo 1]

[Verse 3]
---------------------
    F
Hey porter! Hey porter!
It's getting light outside
This old train is puffing smoke
      G7               C7
And I have to strain my eyes
       F
But ask that engineer if he will
                 A#
Blow his whistle please
                        F
'Cause I smell frost on cotton leaves
      C7                 F
And I feel that Southern breeze

[Verse 4]
---------------------
    F
Hey porter! Hey porter!
Please get my bags for me
I need nobody to tell me now
     G7            C7
That we're in Tennessee
   F
Go tell that engineer to make that
                 A#
Lonesome whistle scream
                          F
We're not so far from home
             C7        F
So take it easy on the steam

[Solo 2]

F  | G7 | C7 | F 
A# | F  | C7 | F 

[Verse 5]
---------------------
    F
Hey porter! Hey porter!
Please open up the door
When they stop the train I'm going to get off first
        G7              C7
'Cause I   can't wait no more
          F
Tell that engineer I said thanks a lot
                          A#
And I didn't mind the fare
                            F
I'm going to set my feet on Southern soil
    C7                       F
And breathe that Southern air
