Starin' up the road and pray to God
And I'm hopin' for Raleigh
I can see my baby tonight
So rock me, mama, like a wagon wheel
Rock me, mama, any way you feel
like the wind and the rain
Rock me, mama, like a southbound train
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,
North Country winters keep a -gettin' me
I lost my money playin' poker,
But I ain't no turnin' back, literally,
So rock me, mama, like a wagon wheel
Rock me, mama, any way you feel
like the wind and the rain
Ride me, mama, like a southbound train
Walkin' due south out of Roanoke
I caught a trucker out of Philly,
But he's headed west from
And I gotta get a move on before the sun
I hear my baby callin' money,
So rock me, mama, like a wagon wheel
Rock me, mama, any way you feel
like the wind and the rain
