|
That big eight wheeler rollin' down the track |
|
Means your true lovin' daddy ain't comin' back |
|
'Cause I'm movin' on I'll soon be gone |
|
You were flyin' too high for my little old sky |
|
So I'm movin' on |
|
That big loud whistle as it blew and blew |
|
Said hello to the Southland we're comin' to you |
|
And we're movin' on oh hear my song |
|
You had the laugh on me so I've set you free |
|
And I'm movin' on |
|
Mister fireman won't you please listen to me |
|
Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee |
|
Keep movin' me on keep rollin' on |
|
So shovel the coal let this rattle a roll |
|
And keep movin' me on |
|
Mister engineer take that throttle in hand |
|
This rattler's the fastest in the southern land |
|
To keep movin' me on keep rollin' on |
|
You're gonna ease my mind put me there on time |
|
And keep rollin' on |
|
I told you baby from time to time |
|
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind |
|
Now I'm movin' on I'll soon be gone |
|
You've broken your vow and it's all over now |
|
So I'm movin' on |
|
You switched your engine now I ain't got time |
|
For a trifling woman on my main line |
|
Cause I'm movin' you done your daddy wrong |
|
I've warned you twice now you can settle the price |
|
Cause I'm movin' on |
|
But some day baby when you've had your play |
|
You're gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say |
|
Keep movin' on you stayed away too long |
|
I'm through with you too bad you're blue |
|
Keep movin' on |
