Hey Porter - The Earl Scruggs Revue

作词：John R. Cash

作曲：John R. Cash

Hey Porter hey Porter

Would you tell me the time

How much longer will

It be till we cross

That Mason Dixon line

When we hit dixie will you tell that engineer

To ring his bell

And ask everybody that ain't asleep

To stand right up and yell

Hey Porter hey Porter

Hey Porter hey Porter

What time did you say

How much longer will it be till I can

See the light of day

When we hit dixie will you tell that engineer

To slow it down

Or better still just stop the train

Because I would like to look around

Can I stay here

Hey Porter hey Porter

Hey Porter hey Porter

It's getting light outside

This old train is puffing smoke

And I have to strain my eyes

But I ask that engineer if he will

Blow his whistle please

Because I smell frost on cotton leaves

And I feel that southern breeze

Hey Porter hey Porter

Hey Porter hey Porter

Please open up the door

When they stop the train I'm going to get off first

Because I can't wait no more

Tell that engineer I said thanks a lot

And I didn't mind the fare

I'm going to set my feet on southern soil

And breathe that southern air

Hey Porter hey Porter

It's getting light outside

This old train is puffing smoke

And I have to strain my eyes

But I ask that engineer if he will

Blow his whistle please

Because I smell frost on cotton leaves

And I feel that southern breeze
