| That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track
|
| Means your true-lovin' baby ain’t comin' back
|
| And I’m movin' on, I’ll soon be gone
|
| You were flyin' too high, for my little old sky
|
| And 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 me movin' on, keep rollin' on
|
| So shovel the coal, let this rattler roll
|
| And keep movin' me on
|
| Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand
|
| This rattler’s the fastest in the southern land
|
| Keep me movin' on, keep rollin' on
|
| You gonna ease my mind, put me there on time
|
| And keep rollin' on
|
| I’ve told you baby, from time to time
|
| But you just wouldn’t listen or pay me no mind
|
| Now I’m movin' on, I’m rollin' on
|
| You’ve broken your vow, and it’s all over now
|
| So I’m movin' on
|
| You’ve switched your engine now I ain’t got time
|
| For a triflin' woman on my main line
|
| Cause I’m movin on, you done your daddy wrong
|
| I warned you twice, now you can settle the price
|
| 'Cause I’m movin on
|
| But someday 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 honey
|
| I’m through with you, too bad you’re blue
|
| So keep movin' on |
