Wagon Wheel

Rock me Momma like a south bound train
Hey Momma rock me
Rock me Momma like the wind and the rain
Rock me Momma like a south bound train
But he's a heading west from the Cumberland gap
My baby plays a guitar, I pick a banjo now
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Hey Momma rock me
Staring up the road and pray to god I see headlights
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
Rock me Momma like the wind and the rain
And if I died in Raleigh at least I will die free

But I ain't turning back to living that old life no more
Rock me Momma like a south bound train
So rock me Momma like a wagon wheel
Rock me Momma like the wind and the rain
Now I lost my money playing poker so I had to up and leave
Hey Momma rock me
And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight
Rock me Momma any way you feel
Oh, north country winters keep a getting me
So rock me Momma like a wagon wheel
I hear my baby calling my name and I know that she's the only one
Rock me Momma any way you feel
To Johnson city Tennessee
Hey Momma rock me
Rock me Momma any way you feel

Hey Momma rock me
Picking me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
Running from the cold up in New england
So rock me Momma like a wagon wheel
I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band
And I gotta get a move on before the sun
I caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long toke
