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 tonight
C G
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Am F
Rock me mama anyway 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
G, D, Em, C
G, D, C
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
My baby plays the guitar
G F
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 up and leave
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 anyway you feel

Rock me mama like a south-bound train

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
I hear my baby callin' my name
F
And I know that she's the only one
C
And if I die in Raleigh
G F
At least I will die free
C G
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Am F
Rock me mama anyway you feel
C G F
Hey mama rock me
C G
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain

Rock me mama like a south-bound train
