(hank snow)



That big eighteen-wheeler, rollin' down the track

Means your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back

'cause 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 we're movin' on, oh, hear my song

You had the laugh on me, so i 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

To keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on

You gonna ease my mind, put me there on time

And keep rollin' on



I've told 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, 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

Cause 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

Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long

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

Keep movin' on
