Headed down south to the land of the pines
I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
Starin' up the road and pray to God I see headlights.
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
And I'm a-hopin' in Raleigh I can see my baby tonight.
Chorus:
So rock me mamma like a wagon wheel
Rock me mamma any way you feel
Hey, mamma rock me
Rock me mamma like the wind and the rain
Rock me mamma like a south-bound train
Hey, mamma rock me.
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,
I pick a banjo, now.
Oh and the north-country winters keep a'gettin' me
And I lost my money playing poker so I had to up and leave
But I ain't a-going back
To livin' that old life no more
{Chorus}
Walkin' to the south, out of Roanoke
I caught a trucker out of Philly, had a nice long toke
But he's a-headed west from the Cumberland Gap
To Johnson City, Tennessee
And I gotta get a move on way for the sun
I hear my baby callin' my name and I know that she's the only one
And If I die in Raleigh,
At least I will die free.
{Chorus}
