Intro: A E F#m D A E D A E Headed down south to the land of the pines F#m D And I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline A Starin' up the road E D 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 A E So rock me mama like a wagon wheel F#m D Rock me mama anyway you feel A E D Hey, mama rock me A E Rock me mama like the wind and the rain F#m D Rock me mama like a south-bound train A E D Hey, mama rock me Runnin' from the cold up in New England I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time stringband 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 Solo: A E F#m D A E D 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 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
