Lyrics

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
