^AHeaded down south to the ^Eland of the pines And I'm ^F#mthumbin' my way into N^Dorth Carolina ^AStarin' up the road And prayin to ^EGod I see ^Dheadlights

I ^Amade it down the coast in ^Eseventeen hours ^F#mPickin' me a bouquet of d^Dogwood flowers And I'm a ^Ahopin' for Raleigh I can ^Esee my baby to^Dnight

[Chorus]

So ^Arock me mama like a ^Ewagon wheel ^F#mRock me mama anyw^Day you feel ^AHey,^E mama ^Drock me ^ARock me mama like the ^Ewind and the rain ^F#mRock me mama like a s^Douth-bound train ^AHey,^E mama ^Drock me

^ARunnin' from the cold ^Eup in New England I was ^F#mborn to be a fiddler in an o^Dld-time string band My ^Ababy plays the guitar ^EI pick a banjo ^Dnow

Oh, the ^ANorth country winters keep a ^Egettin' me down Lost my ^F#mmoney playin' poker so I h^Dad to up and leave But I ^Aain't a turnin' back To ^Elivin' that old life ^Dno more

[Chorus]

[Instrumental] A E F#m D A E D A E F#m D A E D [Verse 3]

^AWalkin' to the south ^Eout of Roanoke I caught a ^F#mtrucker out of Philly Had a ^Dnice long toke But ^Ahe's a headed west from the ^ECumberland Gap To ^DJohnson City, Tennessee

And I ^Agotta get a move on ^Ebefore the sun I hear my ^F#mbaby callin' my name And I ^Dknow that she's the only one And ^Aif I die in Raleigh At ^Eleast I will die ^Dfree

[Chorus]
