[Verse 1] G D
Em C G D
C / 2x
Heading down south
to the land of the
pines
I'm thumbing my way
into North
Caroline
Staring up the road
and pray to God I
see headlights
I made it down the
coast in seventeen
hours
Picking me a bouquet
of dogwood
flowers
And I'm a-hopin' for
Raleigh, I can see
my baby tonight
[Chorus]
So rock me momma
like a wagon
wheel
Rock me momma any
way you feel
Hey, momma rock
me
Rock me momma like
the wind and the
rain
Rock me momma like a
south bound train
Hey, momma rock
me
[Verse 2]
Running from the
cold up in New
England
I was born to be a
fiddler in an old
time string band
My baby plays a
guitar, I pick a
banjo now
Oh, north country
winters keep
a-getting me down
Lost my money
playing poker so I
had to leave town
But I ain't turning
back to living that
old life no more
[Chorus]
[Verse 3] (one strum
each chord below)
Walkin' to the south
out of Roanoke
I caught a trucker
out of Philly, had a
nice long toke
But he's a heading
west from the
Cumberland gap
To Johnson City,
Tennessee
I gotta get a move
on before the sun
I hear my baby
calling my name and
I know that she's
the only one
And if I die in
Raleigh at least I
will die free
[Chorus] (soft
drums, banjo, and
guitar)
