Big Wheels Lyrics

Oh them big wheels a-turnin', goin' somewhere
And they're carryin' her away from my side
Yes I cried, thought I died

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, goin' somewhere
And it's carryin' her away from my side
Yes I cried, thought I'd die

A broken heart is somethin' that I have never had
But I learned the hard way, didn't know it'd hurt so bad
And that big wheel's a-turnin', goin' somewhere
And they're carryin' her away from my side
Yes he cried, thought he died

This burnin' love unwanted, this love that never dies
Keeps right on a-hurtin', no matter how I try
And that old rambler's rollin', goin' somewhere
And it's carryin' her away from my side
Yes I cried, thought I'd die


Many years I fooled around and many years I've lied
I'd always be a-leavin' with that suitcase by my side
But that big engine rollin', goin' somewhere
And it's carryin' her away from my side
Yes I cried, thought I'd die
Yes I cried, thought I'd die

Clarence Eugene "Hank" Snow (Born May 9, 1914 in Brooklyn, Queens County, Nova Scotia; died December 20, 1999) was a Canadian country music singer-songwriter.
Perhaps best known for his distinct yodelling, he charted more than seventy singles on the Billboard country charts from 1950 until 1980, including the Number One hits 'I'm Movin' On' and 'I Don't Hurt Anymore'. Performing in lavish and colourful sequin-studded suits, Snow had a career covering six decades during which he sold more than 80 million albums, and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1979.

THERE IS A HANK SNOW MUSEUM CLOSE TO BROOKLYN IN LIVERPOOL, NOVA SCOTIA, APPROPRIATELY, IT IS HOUSED IN AN ABANDONED TRAIN STATION. VERY WELL DONE
I reckon Hank Snow was better known for his distinctive self taught guitar style. Hank was influenced by the famous Rail road blues singer Jimmie Rodgers and though Hank did copy Rodgers style in his early days, including the "blue yodel" he later abandoned this and developed his own gritty style of singing. His guitar playing was so good he once cut a duet album of guitar music with the late Chet Atkins, master country Guitarist and music producer for RCA Victor. Hank was with RCA Victor label for almost 50 years and towards the end of his waning career RCA dropped him, just before he would have celebrated his half century with that label-always thought that was a bit mean of them.. Hank Snow and his Rainbow ranch boys, with Chubby Hayes on fiddle gave really great live concerts and the singing and playing they did was superlative and sounded as good as, if not equal to their recorded works.
