The old hound dog was feelin' fine
Till he fell in a barrel of turpentine
He's A-Movin' On, He's A-Movin' On
He passed the gate, like an eighty-eight, He's A-Movin' On.
There was a smart guy from the city
And he picked up a stipe'd kitty
He's A-Movin' On, He's A-Movin' On
We held our nose, as we burried his clothe, We're A-Movin' on.
I let a man work on my car
Then he grabbed a-hold of a spark wire
He's A-Movin' On, He's A-Movin' On
He turned it loose, when he felt the juice, He's A-Movin' On.
The old Tom cat was a-feelin' mean
When he caught his tail in the sewin' machine
He's A-Movin' On, He's A-Movin'On
He ripped a stitch, when he hit the ditch, He's A-Movin' On
The old man's face got white as a sheet
When he slipped an fell in his cream of wheat
He's A-Movin' On, He's A-Movin' On
He flapped his ears, as he shifted gears, He's A-Movin' On.
Uncle John got awful clean
When he fell into the washing machine
He's A-Movin On, He's A-Movin' On
He couldn't straddle, that doggone paddle, He's A-Movin' On.
We travel a lot to make our showin'
The way we sing we gotta keep goin'
We're A-Movin' On, We're A-Movin' On
We've gotta, here comes Hank Snow, We're A-Movin On.
