I'M MOVIN' ON

(Hank Snow)

« © '50 Hill & Range Songs »



That big eight 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've 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' 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're gonna ease my mind put me there on time and keep rollin' on

I told you baby from time to time

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

Now I'm movin' on I'll soon be gone

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

You switched your engine now I ain't got time

For a trifling woman on my main line

Cause I'm movin' on I'm rollin' on

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

But some day 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
