G D Em C
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
G D Em
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours, Pickin? me a bouquet of
C
dogwood flowers
G D C
And I'm a hopin? for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight

So rock me mama like a wagon wheel, Rock me mama anyway you feel

G D Em C
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain, Rock me mama like a south-bound train
G D C
Hey? mama rock me

G D Em
Runnin' from the cold up in New England, I was born to be a fiddler in an
C
old-time string band
G D C
My baby plays the guitar, I pick a banjo now
G D Em
Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin? me now, Lost my money playin?
C
poker so I had to up and leave
G D C
But I ain?t a turnin? back to livin? that old life no more

G D Em
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke, I caught a trucker out of Philly, had
C
a nice long toke
G D C
But he's a headed west from the Cumberland Gap to Johnson City, Tennessee
Back to normal strumming pattern:
G D Em
And I gotta get a move on fit for the sun, I hear my baby callin? my name,
C
and I know that she's the only one
G D C
And if I die in Raleigh, at least I will die free
