Song Lyrics
Til i can see the light of day, and ask everybody that ain t asleep to stand right up and yell, it s getting light outside
just stop the train
But ask that engineer if he will blow his whistle please, how much longer will it be, cause i can t wait no more
I need nobody to tell me now that we re in tennessee, and ask everybody that ain t asleep to stand right up and yell Johnny, and ask everybody that ain t asleep to stand right up and yell
we re not so far from home so take it easy on the steam
I m gonna set my feet on southern soil, we re not so far from home so take it easy on the steam
when they stop this train i m gonna get off first
This old train is puffin smoke and i have to strain my eyes, but ask that engineer if he will blow his whistle please, i need nobody to tell me now that we re in tennessee
Til we cross that mason dixon line, please get my bags for me
please open up the door
But ask that engineer if he will blow his whistle please, when they stop this train i m gonna get off first, and breathe that southern air
please get my bags for me
How much longer will it be, but ask that engineer if he will blow his whistle please, and i feel that southern breeze
Til i can see the light of day, this old train is puffin smoke and i have to strain my eyes, til i can see the light of day
When they stop this train i m gonna get off first, what time did you say, and breathe that southern air
and breathe that southern air
Til we cross that mason dixon line, we re not so far from home so take it easy on the steam, go tell that engineer to make that lonesome whistle scream
We re not so far from home so take it easy on the steam, but ask that engineer if he will blow his whistle please Johnny, go tell that engineer to make that lonesome whistle scream
How much longer will it be, or better still, but ask that engineer if he will blow his whistle please
Cause i want to look around, we re not so far from home so take it easy on the steam, it s getting light outside
And i feel that southern breeze, how much longer will it be Hey, cause i smell frost on cotton leaves
And ask everybody that ain t asleep to stand right up and yell, would you tell me the time Hey, thanks a lot and i didn t mind the fare
and ask everybody that ain t asleep to stand right up and yell
How much longer will it be, go tell that engineer to make that lonesome whistle scream
We re not so far from home so take it easy on the steam, or better still, til we cross that mason dixon line
Go tell that engineer to make that lonesome whistle scream, please open up the door, tell that engineer i say
I m gonna set my feet on southern soil, tell that engineer i say
and ask everybody that ain t asleep to stand right up and yell
