Headed down south to the land of the pines
I'm thumbing my way through North Carolin'
Staring up the road I 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-hoping for Raleigh I can see my baby tonight
CHORUS
So rock me momma like a wagon wheel
Rock me momma any way you feel
Heeeeeeeeey momma rock me
Rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Rock me momma like a south bound train
Heeeeeeeeey momma 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 the guitar
I pick the banjo now
Oooh 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
Ain't livin' that old life no more
CHORUS
So rock me momma like a wagon wheel
Rock me momma any way you feel
Heeeeeeeeey momma rock me
Rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Rock me momma like a south bound train
Hey momma rock me
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
I caught a trucker out of Philly, had a nice long toke
He's a-headed west from the Cumberland Gap
To Johnson City, Tennessee
Now I gotta get a move on, head for the sun
I hear my baby calling my name and I know that she's the only one
If I die in Raleigh at least I will die free
CHORUS
So rock me momma like a wagon wheel
Rock me momma any way you feel
Heeeeeeeeey momma rock me
Rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Rock me momma like a south bound train
Heeeeeeeeey momma rock me
Heeeeeeeeey momma rock me
