That big eight wheeler a 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 but I've set you free and I'm movin' on [ piano ] 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 And keep movin' me on keep rollin' on You're gonna ease my mind put me there on time and keep rollin' on [ guitar ] I warned 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 have 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 triflin' woman on my main line Cause I'm movin' on I'm rollin' on 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 stayed away too long I'm through with you too bad you're blue keep movin' on
