G D Em C
Heading down south to the land of the pines I'm thumbing my way into North Caroline
G D C G
Staring up the road and pray to God I see headlights I made it down the coast
D Em C
in seventeen hours Picking me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
G D C
And I'm a-hopin' for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight
G D Em C
So rock me momma like a wagon wheel Rock me momma any way you feel
G D C 5/2 5/0 G D
Hey, momma rock me Rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Em C G D C
Rock me momma like a south bound train Hey, momma rock me

G D Em C
Running from the cold up in New England I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band
G D C G D
My baby plays a guitar, I pick a banjo now Oh, north country winters keep a-getting me down
Em C G D
I lost my money playing poker so I had to leave town But I ain't turning back to living that old
C
life no more CHORUS
G D Em C
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke I caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long toke
G D C
But he's a heading west from the Cumberland gap To Johnson City, Tennessee
G D Em C
And I gotta get a move on before the sun I hear my baby call my name and I know she’s
G D C
And if I died in Raleigh at least I will die free CHORUS 2X
