Old Crow Medicine Show Featuring Gillian Welch & David Rawlings - Wagon Wheel lyrics

rate me

Heading down south to the land of the pines<br />

I'm thumbing my way into north Caroline<br />

Staring up the road and pray to god I see headlights<br />

I made it down the coast in seventeen hours<br />

Picking me a bouquet of dogwood flowers<br />

And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight<br />

<br />

So rock me Momma like a wagon wheel<br />

Rock me Momma any way you feel<br />

Hey Momma rock me<br />

Rock me Momma like the wind and the rain<br />

Rock me Momma like a south bound train<br />

Hey Momma rock me<br />

<br />

Running from the cold up in New england<br />

I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band<br />

My baby plays a guitar, I pick a banjo now<br />

Oh, north country winters keep a getting me<br />

Now I lost my money playing poker so I had to up and leave<br />

But I ain't turning back to living that old life no more<br />

<br />

So rock me Momma like a wagon wheel<br />

Rock me Momma any way you feel<br />

Hey Momma rock me<br />

Rock me Momma like the wind and the rain<br />

Rock me Momma like a south bound train<br />

Hey Momma rock me<br />

<br />

Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke<br />

I caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long toke<br />

But he's a heading west from the Cumberland gap<br />

To Johnson city Tennessee<br />

And I gotta get a move on before the sun<br />

I hear my baby calling my name and I know that she's the only one<br />

And if I died in Raleigh at least I will die free<br />

<br />

So rock me Momma like a wagon wheel<br />

Rock me Momma any way you feel<br />

Hey Momma rock me<br />

Rock me Momma like the wind and the rain<br />

Rock me Momma like a south bound train<br />

Hey Momma rock me
