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

And when we're movin' on, oh hear my song

You had the laugh on me, so I'm settin' you free

So keep 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' on Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand

This rattler's the fastest in the southern land

Keep movin' me on, keeps rollin' on

You gonna ease my mind and put me there on time

Keep rollin' on I've warned you baby, from time to time

But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind

So I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on

You have 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

So I'm movin' on, you done your daddy wrong

I've warned you twice, 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, stayed away too long

I'm through with you, too bad you're blue

Keep movin' on
