Movin' On

That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track Means true-lovin' daddy ain't a-comin' back I'm movin' on I'll soon be gone You're flying 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; we're movin' on Oh, hear my song You had the laugh on me, so I set you free And I'm movin' on Mr. 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 Keep movin' me on Mr. Engineer, take the throttle in hand This rattler's the fastest in the Southern land Keep movin' me on Keep rollin' on You gotta ease my mind, put me there on time Keep movin' me on I've told you, baby, from time to time But you just wouldn't listen; pay me no mind I'm movin' on I'm rollin' on You've broke your vow and it's all over now I'm movin' on You've switched your engine Now, I ain't got time for a travellin' woman on my main line I'm movin' on You done your daddy wrong I warned you twice Now, you can settle the price 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 I'm through with you, too bad you're blue Keep movin' on"
