I'm Moving On

	  		          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, 
            A                                       A7 
you'll want your daddy, but your daddy will say : 
                        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.
