-- OR -- 
Headed down south to the land of the pines
I'm thumbin my way into North Caroline
Staring down the road and I pray to God I see head lights
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Pickin Me a boquet of dog wood flowers
And I'm hopin like Raliegh I can see my baby tonight
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
Break
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 the banjo now
Ohhh the north country winters keep gettin me now
I lost my money playin poker so i had to up and leave
But i ain't a turnin back ... to live in that old life no more
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
Break
Walkin to the south out of ronoak
I caught a trucker out of philly had a nice long toke
But he's headed west from the cumberland gap ... TO johnson city tennessee
I gotta get a move on fit for the sun
I hear my baby callin my name and i no she's the only one
And if i die in raliegh .. at least i will die free
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
