D
That big eight wheeler, rolling down the track
means your true loving daddy ain't comming back
G D
'cause I'm moving on, I'll soon be gone
A D
You were flying too high for my little old sky so I'm moving on
D
That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
said hello to the southland, we're coming to you
G D
and we're moving on, oh hear my song
A D
you had the laugh on me, so I set you free and I'm moving on.
(Fiddle break)
D
Mister fireman won't you please listen to me
'cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee
G D
keep moving me on, keep rolling on
A D
so shovel the coal, let this rattler roll and keep moving me on.
D
Mister engineer take that throttle in hand
this rattlers the fastest in the southern land
G D
to keep moving me on, keep rolling on
A D
you gonna ease my mind, put me there on time and keep rolling on.
(Guitar break)
D
I've told you baby from time to time
but you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
G D
now I'm moving on, I'm rolling on
A D
You've broken your vow and it's all over now so I'm moving on.
D
You've switched your engine now I aint got time
for a triflin' woman on my main line
G D
'cause I'm moving on, you done your daddy wrong
A D
I warned you twice now you can settle the price cause I'm moving on.
D
But someday baby when you had your play
your gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say
G D
keep moving on, you stayed away too long
A D
I'm through with you too bad your blue keep moving on.
