Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show

(Capo 2nd fret)

Headed 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

Ch:

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

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 a banjo now

Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin’ me now, Lost my money playin’

poker so I had to up and leave

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

Ch:

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

Strum each note once:

Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke, 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

Back to normal strumming pattern:

And I gotta get a move on fit 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

Ch:

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…
