I'm movin' on

There's a big eight-wheeler
Runnin' down the line
It means a true-lovin' daddy done changed his mind
And he's movin' on
He'll soon be gone
I'm through with you
Too bad you're blue
I'm movin' on

Mr. Fireman please won't you listen to me
I got a woman in Tennessee
And I'm movin' on
Yeah, I'll soon be gone
So shovel the coal
Let this rattle and roll
I'm movin' on

There's a big-eight wheeler
Comin' down the track
It means a true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
'Cause he' movin' on
He'll soon be gone
Yeah, your through with me
So I'm settin' you free
I'm movin' on

Mr. Engineer, put your throttle in hand
Take me down to that promised land
'Cause I'm movin' on
Yeah, I'll soon be gone
You just flyin' too high
For my little old sky
I'm movin' on

Yeah, that locomotive just a-puffin' the smoke
It means a true-lovin' daddy done gone for broke
And he's movin' on
Yeah, I'll soon be gone
Yes, I'm through with you
Too bad you're blue
I'm movin' on
So shovel the coal
Let this rattle and roll
I'm movin' on
