| 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 |
