Lyrics Move It On Over - Boxcar Willie

Deep within my heart lies a melody
A song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I live with a memory
Beneath the stars all alone

Well, it was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
And the moonlit pass that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love

Moon in all your splendor, know only my heart
Call back my rose, rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender, like petals falling apart
Speak once again of my love, my own

Oh, broken song, empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass beside the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone

Moon in all your splendor know only my heart
Call back my rose, rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals falling apart
Speak once again of my love, my own

Broken song, empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass beside the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone
Yeah, Rose, my Rose of San Antone
Rolling in my sweet baby's arms
Rolling in my sweet baby's arms
I'll lay around the shack
Till the mail train comes back
And rolling in my sweet baby's arms

Well, I ain't gonna work on the railroad
I ain't gonna work on the farm
I'll lay around the shack
Till the mail train comes back
And rolling in my sweet baby's arms

Keep rolling in my sweet baby's arms
I'm rolling in my sweet baby's arms
I'll lay around the shack
Till the mail train comes back
And rolling in my sweet baby's arms

Well, where were you last Friday night
While I was lyin' in jail
You walkin' the streets with another man
You wouldn't even go my bail

Rolling in my sweet baby's arms
I'm rolling in my sweet baby's arms
I'll lay around the shack
Till the mail train comes back
And rolling in my sweet baby's arms

Girl, know your daddy don't like me
He drives me away from your door
And if I had it [Incomprehensible] once again
I'll never go there anymore

Keep rolling in my sweet baby's arms
I'm rolling in my sweet baby's arms
I'll lay around the shack
Till the mail train comes back
Rolling in my sweet baby's arms

Lay around the shack
Till the mail train comes back
And rolling in my sweet baby's arms
From this valley they say you are goin'
I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are takin' the sunshine
That has brightened our pathway a while

Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the old boy that loved you so true

Far along by my dear I've been waiting
For those words that you never would say
But at last all my fond hopes have vanished
For to day, you are going away

Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the old boy that loved you so true

Won't you think of this valley you're leavin'
And how lonely and sad it will be
And think of the heart that you are breakin'
And the grief that you are causing me

Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the old boy that loved you so true
Came in last night at half past ten
That baby of mine she wouldn't let me in
So, move it on over (move it on over)
Scoot it on over (scoot it on over)
Move over short dog 'cause a tall dog's movin in

She changed the lock on my front door
And my door key don't fit no more
So, move it on over (move it on over)
Tote it on over (tote it on over)
Move over hot dog 'cause a cold dog's moving in

She warned me once, and she warned me twice
But I don't take no one's advice
So move it on over (move it on over)
Pack it on over (pack it on over)
Move over old dog 'cause a new dog's moving in

She'll come back to me on her knees
But I'll be busy scratching fleas
So move it on over (move it on over)
Move it on over (move it on over)
Move over smart dog 'cause a dumb dog's moving in

Well, the dog house here is mighty small
It's better than no house at all
So, move it on over (move it on over)
Scratch it on over (scratch it on over)
Move over small dog 'cause a big dog's moving in

Well, the dog house here is mighty small
It's better than no house at all
So, move it on over (move it on over)
Get it on over (get it on over)
Move over fat dog 'cause a skinny dog's moving in
