south to the land of the pines
Thumbin' my way into North Carolina
Starin' up the road and pray
in' to God I see headlights
I made it down the coast in 17 hours
so I can see my baby tonight
So rock me, mama, like a wagon wheel
Rock me, mama, any way you feel
Hey, hey, hey, mama, rock me
like the wind and the rain
Rock me, mama, like a southbound train
Hey, hey, hey, mama, rock me
I've been runnin' from the cold
And born to be the fiddler
in an old -time string band
My baby plays the guitar,
Well, who's north country
when it keeps getting to me
Lost my money playing poker,
to live that old life no more
So rock me, mama, like a wagon wheel
Rock me, mama, any way you feel
Hey, hey, hey, mama, rock me
like the wind and the rain
I was walking to the south
Caught a trucker out of Philly,
Hear my baby calling my name
And she says I'm the only one
At least I will die free, oh yeah
Rock me, mama, like a wagon wheel
Rock me, mama, any way you feel
Hey, hey, hey, mama, rock me
like the wind and the rain
Rock me, mama, like a southbound train
Hey, hey, hey, mama, rock me
Hey, hey, hey, mama rock me
Hey, hey, hey, mama rock me you
