Hey Porter - Johnny Cash Intro: [G] [G] [G] [G] Verse 1: Hey Porter, Hey Porter! Would you tell me the time? How much longer will it be 'til we cross that [A7]Mason Dixon[D7] Line?

How much longer will it be 'til I can see the [A7]light of [D7]day? When [G]we hit Dixie will you tell that engineer to ring his [C]bell; And ask everybody that [G]ain't asleep to [D7]stand right up and [G]yell.
