|
That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track |
|
Means your true lovin' daddy ain't comin' back |
|
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 |
|
When 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 rattler roll |
|
And keep movin' me on |
|
Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand |
|
This rattler's the fastest in the Southern land |
|
Keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on |
|
You're gonna ease my mind, put me there on time |
|
And keep rollin' on |
|
I've warned 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, it is 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 |
|
And 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 |
|
Get movin' on, you stayed away too long |
|
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue |
|
Keep movin' on |
|
That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track |
|
Means your true lovin' daddy ain't comin' back |
|
And I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone |
|
You were flyin' too high for my little old sky |
|
So I'm movin' on |
