That big eight wheeler goin down the track

          G                D               
I'm movin on, I'm a- rolling on

          A7
You were flyin' too high for my little old sky

             D
So I'm movin' on



The title is, "I'M MOVIN' ON"

The original record by Hank Snow sold seven Million in 1948 and at least two hundred thousand every year since. It's one of those great records that was perfectly ballanced with the different parts fitting so well together that one listens to it over and over again.

By the way, there's no drum on this record.

There's a Homer and Jethro parody of it that is really quite funny.

Sorcha: the verse is,

THE OLD TOM CAT WAS FEELIN MEAN WHEN HE CAUGHT HIS TAIL IN THE SEWIN' MACHINE
HE'S MOVIN' ON, HE'S A-ROLLIN' ON
HE RIPPED A STITCH WHEN HE HIT THE DITCH
HE'S MOVIN' ON

(other verss)

OLD HOMER HE GOT MIGHTY CLEAN WHEN HE SLIPPED AND FELL IN THE WASHIN' MACHINE
HE'S MOVIN ON, HE'LL SOON BE GONE.
HE COULDN'T STRADDLE THAT DOGGONE PADDLE, HE'S MOVIN ON.
