Wagon Wheel

Headed down south to the land of the Pine

I’m thumbin’ my way into North Caroline

Staring up the road and (I) pray to God I see head lights

I made it down the coast in seventeen hours

Pickin me a bouquet of dogwood flowers and I’m

Hopin for Raleigh I can see my baby tonight

So rock me mama like a wagon wheel

Rock me mama any way you feel

Hey mama rock me

Rock me mama like the wind and the rain

Rock me mama like a south bound train

Hey mama rock me

Runnin’ from the cold up in New England

I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band

My baby plays the guitar, I pick the banjo now

Oh north country winters keep-a gettin’ me down

An’I lost my money playin’ poker so i had to leave town

But i ain’t turning back To live that old life no more

So rock me mama like a wagon wheel

Rock me mama any way you feel

Hey mama rock me

Rock me mama like the wind and the rain

Rock me mama like a south bound train

Hey mama rock me

Walkin’ to the south out of Roanoake

I caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long toke

But he’s a-headed west from the Cumberland Gap to Johnson City Tennessee

I gotta get a move on before for the sun

I hear my baby callin my name and i know that she’s the only one

And if i die in Raleigh At least i will die free

So rock me mama like a wagon wheel

Rock me mama any way you feel

Hey mama rock me

Rock me mama like the wind and the rain

Rock me mama like a south bound train

Hey mama rock me

So rock me mama like a wagon wheel

Rock me mama any way you feel

Hey mama rock me

Rock me mama like the wind and the rain

Rock me mama like a south bound train

Hey mama rock me
