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