I'M MOVIN' ON No.2"
(Parody of Hank Snow's "I'm Movin' On")
(Homer Haynes / Jethro Burns / Hank Snow)

Homer & Jethro - 1951


The old hound dog was a-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 striped kitty
He's a-movin' on, he's a-movin' on
We held our nose as we buried his clothes
We're a-movin' on

I let a man work on my car
Then he grabbed hold of a spark plug 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 tomcat 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 and fell in his Cream o' Wheat
He's a-movin' on, he's a-movin' on
He flapped his ears as he shifted his gears
He's a-movin' on

Uncle John got awful clean
When he fell into the washin' 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 have to keep goin'
We're a-movin' on, we're a-movin' on
We've gotta go, here comes Hank Snow
We're a-movin' on
