Headed down south to the land of the pines, I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
G                       D                 C
Starin' up the road and pray to God I see headlights
G                               D            Em                      C
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours, Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
G                                   D             C
And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight

So rock me mama like a wagon wheel, rock me mama anyway you feel

Hey, mama rock me
G                     D                  Em                  C
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain, rock me mama like a south-bound train
G   D     C
Hey, mama rock me

VERSE 2:
G                     D                        Em                         C
Runnin' from the cold up in New England, I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time string band
   G                     D               C
My baby plays the guitar, I pick a banjo now 
        G                            D                       Em                       C
Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin' me now, Lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave
      G                       D                       C
But I ain't a turnin' back to livin' that old life no more

Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke, I caught a trucker out of Philly, had a nice long toke
    G                           D                 C
But he's a headed west from the Cumberland Gap to Johnson City, Tennessee
G                         D                          Em                          C
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
G                           D                C
And if I die in Raleigh, at least I will die free
