I'm Movin' On

That big eight wheeler rolling down the track

Means your true loving daddy ain't coming back

'Cause I'm moving on I'll soon be gone

You were flying too high for my little old sky, so I'm moving on

That big loud whistle as it blew and blew

Said hello to the Southland, we're coming to you

And we're moving on, oh, hear my song

You had the laugh on me so I've set you free and I'm moving on

Mister fireman, won't you please listen to me

'Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee

Keep moving me on, keep rolling on

So shovel the coal, let this rattle a-roll and keep moving me on

Mister engineer, take that throttle in hand

This rattler's the fastest in the southern land

To keep moving me on, keep rolling on

You're gonna ease my mind, put me there on time and keep rolling on

I told you, baby, from time to time

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

Now I'm moving on, I'm rolling on

You've broken your vow and it's all over now, so I'm moving on

You switched your engine, now I ain't got time

For a trifling woman on my main line

'Cause I'm moving, you done your daddy wrong

I've warned you twice, now you can settle the price 'cause I'm moving on

But some day, baby, when you've had your play

You're gonna want your daddy, but your daddy will say

"Keep moving on, you stayed away too long"

I'm through with you, too bad you're blue, keep moving on
