"Hey Porter" | A Life In Black II - A tribute to Johnny Cash

🔥My new album "A Life In Black II" is out now on all major online streaming services and digital platforms. If you want to support me, buy the album or stream it. Enjoy! 👉🏻https://tinyurl.com/alifeinblack2 Hey! Welcome to the first song of this video series. "Hey Porter" holds a special place in Johnny Cash’s legacy as his very first recorded song (at least from what I understand). It’s simple, raw, and filled with that unmistakable train imagery that would follow him throughout his career, right up until his very last song. I wanted to keep that upbeat, old-school energy while giving it a bit of my own touch. Hope you enjoy it! Please consider subscribing if you like what I do.

How much longer will it be ‘Til we cross that Mason Dixon Line? At daylight would you tell that engineer to slow it down Or better still, just stop the train ‘Cause I'd like 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 would 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 eye But ask that engineer if he'll 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 this 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 gonna set my feet on Southern soil And breathe that Southern air ------------------------------------- THIS VIDEO WAS PAID FOR BY THESE PATRONS: John Dodd Ffid30 Vigfus Rafnsson Romain Betis Yanek Åsa Josefson Rob Domaille Tom Stanyer Stefanie schweighofer David Gutierrez Katie S Andy and Mon JFH robert becker Caramelle Rikk Harbour MiPsyKa Thank you! ------------------------------------- #ChristianLarsson #JohnnyCash #ALifeInBlack2
