I had an opportunity to transcribe this today, so I thought I'd better take advantage of it.

MOVE IT ON OVER
Words and music by Hank Williams
As recorded by Hank Williams, 1947. (MGM 10033-A)
Came in last night at half-past ten.
That baby of mine wouldn't let me in,
So move it on over. (Move it on over.)
Move it on over. (Move it on over.)
Move over, little dog, 'cause the big dog's movin' in.

She's changed the lock on our front door.
My poor key don't fit no more,
So get it on over. (Move it on over.)
Scoot it on over. (Move it on over.)
Move over, skinny dog, 'cause the fat dog's movin' in.

This doghouse here is mighty small,
But it's better than no house at all,
So ease it on over. (Move it on over.)
Drag it on over. (Move it on over.)
Move over, old dog, 'cause a new dog's movin' in.

She told me not to play around,
But I done let the deal go down,
So pack it on over. (Move it on over.)
Tote it on over. (Move it on over.)
Move over, nice dog, 'cause a mad dog's movin' in.

She warned me once. She warned me twice,
But I don't take no one's advice,
So scratch it on over. (Move it on over.)
Shake it on over. (Move it on over.)
Move over, short dog, 'cause a tall dog's movin' in.

She'll crawl back to me on her knees.
I'll be busy scratchin' fleas,
So slide it on over. (Move it on over.)
Sneak it on over. (Move it on over.)
Move over, good dog, 'cause a mad dog's movin' in.

Remember, pup, before you whine,
That side's yours and this side's mine,
So shove it on over. (Move it on over.)
Sweep it on over. (Move it on over.)
Move over, cold dog, 'cause a hot dog's movin' in.
