Wagon Wheel

Capo on 2

Headin' down south to the land of the pines,

I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline

Starin' up the road and pray to God I see headlights

I made it down the coast in seventeen hours,

pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers

And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight

Chorus:

So rock me, momma, like a wagon wheel, rock me, momma,

any way you feel

Hey momma, rock me

Rock me, momma, like the wind and the rain, rock me, momma,

like a south bound train

Hey momma, 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 a guitar, I pick a banjo now

Oh, north country winters keep a gettin' me down

Lost my money playin' poker so I had to leave town

But I ain't a-turnin' back to livin' that old life no more

Chorus:

So rock me, momma, like a wagon wheel, rock me, momma,

any way you feel

Hey momma, rock me

Rock me, momma, like the wind and the rain, rock me, momma,

like a south bound train

Hey momma, rock me

Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke, I caught a trucker out

of Philly had a nice long toke

But he's a headin' west from the Cumberland gap to Johnson City,

Tennessee

I gotta get a move on before the sun

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

And if I died in Raleigh at least I will die free

Chorus: x2

So rock me, momma, like a wagon wheel, rock me, momma,

any way you feel

Hey momma, rock me

Oh, rock me momma like the wind and the rain, rock me, momma,

like a south bound train

Hey momma, rock me
