Ry Cooder - Hey Porter Lyrics
Hey, Porter! Hey Porter! Would you tell me the time?
How much longer will it be till we cross that Mason Dixon Line?
At daylight would you tell the engineer to slow it down
Or better still, just stop the train 'cause I wanna look a round
How much longer will it be till I can see the light of day?
When we hit Dixie would ya tell the engineer to ring his bell
And tell everybody that ain't asleep to stand right up and yell
Hey, Porter! Hey, Porter! Please, go on and get my bags for me
I don't need nobody to tell me now that I'm in Tennessee
We're not so far from home, you know, and it's a-getting light outside
This old train is a-puffin' smoke and I have to strain in my eyes
Hey Porter! Hey Porter! Please open up the door
Tell the engineer I say, "Thanks a lot. And I didn't mind the fare
I'm gonna set my feet on Southern soil, I'm gonna breathe the Southern air"
