(duet with Waylon Jennings)

[Verse 1] (Cash)
C
That big eight-wheeler rollin’ down the track

Means your true lovin’ daddy ain’t comin’ back
F C
I’m movin’ on, I’ll soon be gone
G
You were flyin’ too high, for my little old sky
C
So I’m movin’ on

[Verse 2] (Jennings)
C
That big loud whistle as it blew and blew

Said hello to the southland, we’re comin’ to you
F C
And we’re movin’ on, oh, hear my song
G
You had the laugh on me, so I’m settin’ you free
C
So keep movin’ on

[Chorus 1] (Both)
C
Mister fireman, won’t you please listen to me

Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee
F C
Keep me movin’ on, keep rollin’ on
G
So shovel the coal, let this rattler roll
G
Keep movin’ on

[Break]

C F C G C

[Verse 3] (Jennings)
C
Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand

This rattler the fastest in the southern land
F C
Keep movin’ me on, keeps rollin’ on
G
You gonna ease my mind and put me there on time
C
And keep rolli’ on

[Verse 4] (Cash)
C
I’ve told you baby, from time to time

But you just wouldn’t listen or pay me no mind
F C
So I’m movin’ on, I’m rollin’ on
G
You have broken your vow and it’s all over now
C
And I’m movin’ on

{Chorus 2] (Both)
C
You’ve switched your engine and I ain’t got time

For a triflin’ woman on my main line
F C
So I’m movin’ on, you done your daddy wrong
G
I warned you twice, now you can settle the price
C
And keep movin’ on

[Break]

C F C G C

[Chorus 3] (Both)
C
But someday, baby, when you’ve had your play

You’re gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say
F C
Keep movin’ on, you stayed away too long
G
I’m through with you, too bad you’re blue
C
Keep movin’ on
