Introdução:
A A7
That big eight-wheeler rolling down the track
A A7
means your true-loving daddy ain't coming back.
D A
I'm moving on, I'm moving on,
E
you were flying too high, for my little old sky,
A
and I'm moving on.
A A7
That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
A A7
said, hello to the southland, we're coming to you.
D A
I'm moving on, oh hear my song,
E
you had the laugh on me, now I'm setting you free,
A
and I'm moving on.
A A7
Mister Fireman won't you please listen to me,
A A7
I got a pretty mama in Tennessee.
D A
Keep moving on, keep rolling on,
E
you gotta shovel the coal, let this rattler roll,
A
and keep moving me on.
A A7
Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand,
A A7
this rattler's the fastest in the southern land,
D A
to keep moving on, I stayed away too long,
E
you gonna ease my mind, and put me there on time,
A
and keep moving on.
A A7
I've told you, baby, from time to time,
A A7
you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind.
D A
I'm moving on, I'm moving on,
E
well, you've broken your vow, and it's all over now,
A
and I'm moving on.
A A7
You' done switched your engine, now I ain't got time
A A7
for a trifling woman on my main line.
D A
I'm moving on, done your daddy wrong,
E
I warned you twice, now you can settle the price,
A
and keep moving on.
A A7
But someday, baby, when you've had your play,
D A
Keep moving on, you stayed away too long,
E
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue,
A
keep moving on.
