VERSE 1:
[D] Heading down south to the
[A] land of the pines
[Bm] I'm thumbing my way into
[G] North Caroline
[D] Staring up the road and
[A] pray to God I see
[G] headlights
[D] I made it down the coast in
[A] seventeen hours
[Bm] Picking me a bouquet of
[G] dogwood flowers
And I'm a-
[D]-hopin' for Raleigh, I can
[A] see my baby to-
[G]-night
CHORUS:
So
[D] rock me momma like a
[A] wagon wheel
[Bm] Rock me momma any
[G] way you feel
[D] Hey,
[A] momma
[G] rock me
[D] Rock me momma like the

[A] momma
[G] rock me

VERSE 2:
[D] Running from the cold
[A] up in New England
I was
[Bm] born to be a fiddler in an
[G] old time string band
My
[D] baby plays a guitar,
[A] I pick a banjo
[G] now
Oh,
[D] north country winters keep a-
[A] getting me down
I lost my
[Bm] money playing poker so I
[G] had to leave town
But I
[D] ain't turning back to
[A] living that old life
[G] no more
REPEAT CHORUS:
BREAK: [over CHORUS]

[D] Walkin' to the south
[A] out of Roanoke
I caught a
[Bm] trucker out of Philly had a
[G] nice long toke
But
[D] he's a heading west from the
[A] Cumberland gap, to
[G] Johnson City, Tennessee
And I
[D] gotta get a move on
[A] before the sun
I hear my
[Bm] baby calling my name and I
[G] know that she's the only one
And
[D] if I died in Raleigh at
[A] least I will die
[G] free
