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