That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track
Means your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
And I'm movin' on
I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' 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' for 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 rattle a-roll
And keep movin' on
Mister engineer, take your throttle in hand
This rattle is the fastest in the Southern land
Keep movin' me on
Keep rollin' on
You're gonna ease my mind, put me there on time
And keep rollin' on
Well, I told you, baby, from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
And I'm movin' on
I'm rollin' on
You've broken your vow and it's all over now
So 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 a Blue
So keep movin' on"
