Thumbin' my way into North Carolina
And I made it down the coast
And I can see my baby tonight
So rock me, daddy, like a wagon wheel
Rock me, daddy, any way you feel
I was born to be a fiddler
in an old -time string band
And the North Country winners
I lost my money playing poker,
But I ain't going back to this
So rock me, mama, like a wagon wheel
Rock me, mama, any way you feel
Yeah, you better rock me, mama,
like the wind and the rain
Rock me, mama, like a southbound train
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
I caught a trucker out of Philly
But he's headed west from
To Johnson City, Tennessee
And I gotta, gotta move on
I hear my baby callin' my name
And I know that he's the only one
Rock me, daddy, any way you feel
You better rock me, mama,
like the wind and the rain
Rock me, mama, like a southbound train
