Hey Porter

Hey Porter - Johnny Cash (約翰尼·卡什)

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 ya tell

That engineer to slow it down

Or better still just stop the train

Cause I wanna look around

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 ring his bell

And ask everybody

That ain't asleep to stand right up and yell

Hey porter

Hey porter

It's getting light outside

This old train is puffin' smoke

And I have to strain my eyes

But ask that engineer

If he will blow his whistle please

Cause I smell frost on cotton leaves

And I feel that Southern breeze

Hey porter

Hey porter

Please get my bags for me

I need nobody to tell me now

That we're in Tennessee

Tell Go that engineer

To make that lonesome whistle scream

We're not so far from home

So take it easy on the steam

Hey porter

Hey porter

Please open up the door

When they stop the train

I'm gonna get off first

Cause I can't wait no more

Tell that engineer I said thanks alot

And I didn't mind the fare

I'm gonna set my feet on

Southern soil and breathe that Southern air
