I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Mister Engineer take that throttle in hand
You're gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say
You switched your engine now I ain't got time
Said hello to the Southland, we're comin' to you
And keep movin' me on
For a triflin' woman on my main line
'Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee
And keep rollin' on
And I'm movin' on
I warned you baby from time to time
This rattler's the fastest in the southern land
'Cause I'm movin' on, you done your daddy wrong
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
So I'm movin' on
So I'm movin' on
Now I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
To keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
You have broken your vow and it's all over now
Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long
'Cause I'm movin' on
Mister Fireman, won't you please listen to me?
'Cause I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
So shovel the coal, let this rattle a roll
But someday baby when you've had your play
And we're movin' on, oh hear my song
You were flyin' too high for my little old sky
You had the laugh on me, so I've set you free
I've warned you twice, now you can settle the price
Keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
You're gonna ease my mind, put me there on time
