http://www.stubbyfingers.ca/
If you never seen this guy play your missing out. You can see him play this song at
It's the best version of this song I've ever heard.
Capo on 2
Intro:
Headed down south to the land of the pines
And 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 So I can see my baby tonight
[Chorus]
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama anyway 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
Running 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 started getting me down,
I lost my money playing poker so I had to up and leave.
But I ain't turning back to living that old life no more.
[Chorus]
I was Walkin' though the south out of Roanoke,
I caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long toke.
But he’s heading west from the Cumberland gap,
Johnson City, Tennessee.
Now I gotta get a move on pray the sun,
I hear my baby calling my name she’s says I’m the only one.
And If I die in Raleigh at least I will die free.
[Chorus]
