Intro: G, D, Em, C

(Play twice)
G D
I'm headed down South to the land of the pines
Em C
I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
G D C C
Staring at the road and pray to God I see headlights
G D
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Em C
Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
G D C C
And I'm hoping for Raleigh I can see my baby tonight
(Chorus)
G D
So, Rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Em C
Rock me mama any way you feel
G D C C
Heyeeeeeeeeeeeeee mama Rock me
G D
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Em C
Rock me mama like a south bound train
G D C C
Heyeeeeeeeeeeeeee mama Rock me
G, D, Em, C
G, D, C
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
Ahh, the North Country winters keep a gettin' me down
Lost my money playin' poker so I had up and leave
But I ain't a turning back, to livin' that old life no more
(Chorus)
G, D, Em, C
G, D, C
G, D, Em, C
G, D, C
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
Johnson City, Tennessee
Now I gotta get a move on, Pay 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, least I will die free
(Chorus)
