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