C G
Headed down south to the land of the pines
Am F
And I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
C
Starin' up the road
G F
And pray to God I see headlights
C G
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Am F
Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
C
And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh
G F
I can see my baby to-night
C G
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Am F
Rock me mama any way you feel
C G F
Hey, mama rock me
C G
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Am F
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
C G F
Hey, mama rock me
C G
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Am F
Rock me mama any way you feel
C G F
Hey, mama rock me
C G
Runnin' from the cold up in New England
Am F
I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time stringband
C G F
My baby plays the guitar, I pick a banjo now
C G
Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin' me now
Am F
Lost my money playin' poker, so I had to leave town
C
But I ain't a turnin' back
G F
To livin' that old life no more
C G
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Am F
Rock me mama any way you feel
C G F
Hey, mama rock me
C G
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Am F
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
C G F
Hey, mama rock me
C G
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Am F
Rock me mama any way you feel
C G F
Hey, mama rock me
C G
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
Am
I caught a trucker out of Philly
F
Had a nice long toke
C G
But he's a headed west from the Cumberland Gap
F
To Johnson City, Tennessee
C G
And I gotta get a move on fit for the sun
Am F
I hear my baby callin' my name and I know that she's the only one
C G F
And if I die in Raleigh at least I will die free
C G
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Am F
Rock me mama any way you feel
C G F
Hey, mama rock me
C G
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Am F
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
C G F
Hey, mama rock me
