HEY PORTER — текст песни (Ry Cooder)

(Johnny Cash)
(C) - (G) - (F)

(C) Hey, Porter, Hey Porter! Would you tell me the (F) time?
(C) How much longer will it be `til we cross that (G) Mason Dixon Line? (C)
At daylight would you tell the engineer to slow it (F) down;
Or better still, just stop the train `cause I (G) wanna look a (C) round.

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 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.
When they stop this train I`m gonna get off first `cause I can`t wait no more.
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."
