lyrics

Move ahead, long boy, move ahead.
Don't you let the dirt become your bed.
Don't let the grass grow under your head.
Move ahead, long boy, move ahead.

Can't you hear the river calling you,
Calling you to do what you mu' do?
Strap on your boots and holler 'whoop-de-do'.
Move ahead and do what you mu' do.

Fire up the cat (?) and make it go.
Longy-boy can go where he wanna go.
Shorty-boy can't tell you no-na-no, no no.
Longy-boy can move ahead to any road.

Move ahead, long boy, move ahead. (Move ahead, long boy!)
Don't you let the dirt become your bed. (Get up, get up!)
Don't let the grass-y grow under your head.
Move ahead, long boy, move ahead.

You got to
Move ahead, long boy. (repeated)
Long boy! Move ahead! (repeated)
That's what you got to do.
I know that you mu' do.
(???) holler 'whoop-de-do'.
(???) long boy. Long boy, ho!

Move ahead, long boy, move ahead. (Move ahead, long boy!)
Don't you let the dirt become your bed.
Shorty-boy don't like you, wishin' he was dead.
Move ahead, long boy.
Move ahead, long boy.
Move ahead, long boy, move ahead.

Move ahead, long boy!
