F Hey Porter, Hey Porter! Would you tell me the time? How much longer will it be 'til we cross G7 C7 That Mason Dixon Line? F At daylight will you tell that engineer A# To slow it down; F Or better still, just stop the train C7 F 'cause I want to look around. Hey porter, hey porter! What time did you say? How much longer will it be 'til 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 puffing 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 Go tell 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 a lot And I didn't mind the fare I'm going to set my feet on Southern soil And breathe that Southern air | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA#  C7  F  G7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
