Wagon Wheel

Wagon Wheel - The Donegal X-Press

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 hoping for raleigh

I can see my baby tonight

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

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

Now I lost my money playing poker

So I had to up and leave

But I ain't turning back

To living that old life no more

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

I'm thumbing 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

And 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 died in raleigh

At least I will die free

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

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

Hey mamma rock me

Hey mamma rock me

Hey mamma rock me
