1. 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
   I made it down the coast in seventeen hours,  Pickin’ me a bouquet of
   dogwood flowers
   And I'm a hopin’ for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight
   

      G                   D            C               C
R: So rock me mama like a wagon wheel, Rock me mama anyway you feel
   G  D      C
   Hey… mama rock me
   Rock me mama like the wind and the rain, Rock me mama like a south-bound train
   Hey… mama rock me

2. 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 
   Oh, 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 to livin’ that old life no more
   

      G                   D
R: So rock me mama like a wagon wheel ...

   (Strum each note once:)

3. 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 to Johnson City, Tennessee
   (Back to normal strumming pattern:)
   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
   And if I die in Raleigh, at least I will die free
