The Wreck Of The Old 97 - Hank Snow

That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track

Means your true-lovin' baby ain’t comin' back

And I’m movin' on, I’ll soon be gone

You were flyin' too high, for my little old sky

And I’m movin' on

That big loud whistle as it blew and blew

Said hello to the southland, we’re comin' to you

And we’re movin' on, oh hear my song

You had the laugh on me, so I’ve set you free

And I’m movin' on

Mister fireman won’t you please listen to me

'Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee

Keep me movin' on, keep rollin' on

So shovel the coal, let this rattler roll

And keep movin' me on

Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand

This rattler’s the fastest in the southern land

Keep me movin' on, keep rollin' on

You gonna ease my mind, put me there on time

And keep rollin' on

I’ve told you baby, from time to time

But you just wouldn’t listen or pay me no mind

Now I’m movin' on, I’m rollin' on

You’ve broken your vow, and it’s all over now

So I’m movin' on

You’ve switched your engine now I ain’t got time

For a triflin' woman on my main line

Cause I’m movin on, you done your daddy wrong

I warned you twice, now you can settle the price

'Cause I’m movin on

But someday baby when you’ve had your play

You’re gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say

Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long honey

I’m through with you, too bad you’re blue

So keep movin' on
