Hank Snow

Oh them big wheels are turning going somewhere
And they're carrying her away from my side
Yes I cried thought I'd die
Love was just a game to me I thought I'd never cry
I thought she'd be the loser but standing here am I
And that long train is rolling going somewhere
And it's carrying her away from my side
Yes I cried thought I'd die
[ piano ]
A broken heart is something that I have never had
But I learned the hard way didn't know it hurt so bad
And them big wheels are turnin' going somewhere
And it's carryinG her away from my side
(Yes he cried thought he'd die)
This burnin' love unwanted this love that never dies
Keeps right on a hurting no matter how I try
And that old rattler rolling going somewhere
And it's carrying her away from my side
Yes I cried thought I'd die
[ guitar ]
Many years I've fooled around and many years I've lied
I'd always be a leaving with that suitcase by my side
But that big engine's rolling going somewhere
And it's carrying her away from my side
Yes I cried thought I'd die yes I cried thought I'd die

Hawaii's callin'

When I hear the rhythm of the hula rock, hula rock
In the South Pacific where the trade winds blow
They thought that the hula was a little bit slow
So they stepped it up with a go go go
And that's where they got that rock and roll

In the South Pacific now they're gettin' with it
On the beach at Waikaki
And it's a lula when they try the hula
With a rockin' rollin' beat

Rockin' and a rollin' in Waikaki
Rockin' and a rollin' in Waikaki
Rockin' and a rollin' in Waikaki
Rockin' and a rollin' in Waikaki
Don't stop, just let her rock

Take me back where the trade winds blow
To the land of the hula where they never get old
And the gooney birds dance with a go go go
And the natives join in with a rock and roll

With me, it's a riddle how they break in the middle
And yet stay on the beat
But I wanna sway with 'em when I hear the rhythm
Of the rockin' hula beat

Rockin' and a rollin' in Waikaki
Rockin' and a rollin' in Waikaki
Rockin' and a rollin' in Waikaki
Rockin' and a rollin' in Waikaki
Don't stop, just let her rock

Hawaii's callin'

That big eight-wheeler, rollin' down the track
Means your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
Cause I'm movin'on, I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high, for my little old sky
So 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 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 movin' me 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
To keep movin' me 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
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
Keep movin' on.

I was totin' my pack along a dusty Winnemucca road
When along came a semi with a high canvas covered load
"If you're going to Winnemucca, Mac with me you can ride."
So I climbed into the cab and then I settled down inside
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand
And I said, [break] "Listen, Bud I've traveled every road in this here
land."

(Chorus)
I've been everywhere, man, I've been everywhere, man
'Cross the deserts bare, man, I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel, I've had my share, man, I've been everywhere.

(Chorus)

Way down in the state of Georgia
Through the swamps and everglades
There's a hole in Tiger Mountain
God help the man who gets lost in Miller's Cave.

I had a girl (had a girl)
In Waycross, Georgia (Waycross, Georgia) but she had unfaithful ways
Made me feel (made me feel) I was unwanted (so unwanted)
Like the bats and the bears in Miller's Cave.

I couldn't stand the way she did me
Couldn't take her low down ways
Before I'd stay with a cheatin' woman
I'll go live the bears in Miller's Cave.

I caught her out (caught her out) one Sunday morning (Sunday morning)
With a man they call Big Dave
Meanest man (meanest man) in Waycross, Georgia (Waycross, Georgia)
I'd rather fight a Mountain Lion in Miller's Cave.

I said you'll pay, both you and Davey
I must see you in your grave
They laughed at me and then I shot 'em
I took their cheatin', schemin' bones to Miller's Cave.

That woman made (woman made) me feel unwanted (so unwanted)
But I showed 'em I was brave
Most wanted man in the state of Georgia
But they'll never find me 'cause I'm lost in Miller's Cave.

Dark cold, cave, Miller's Cave.

I filled my ol' car up with gas north to Chicago I was goin'
Just drove ten miles and turned around I couldn't leave without you knowin'
I had to see you one last time and be with you once before I'll go
To talk with you just one more time and then I'm bound north to Chicago
Still I wish there's something you would say to make me change my mind and stay
But I guess it's gotta be this way then I guess I'm bound north to Chicago
Please don't be angry that I've come I know you didn't want to see me
I know I said I wouldn't call and I tried my best love please believe me
Well everything I own is in my car you can see I'm leavin' so you must know
I only come to say goodbye and now I'm bound north to Chicago
Still I wish there's something...
(Ah Lord that woman done me a fool of little ol' Hank
And I'm just gonna be movin' on north to Chicago yeah)
