\r
5 [G]Heading down south to the [D]land of the pines
\r
6 I'm [Em]thumbing my way into [C]North Caroline
\r
7 [A]Staring up the road and pray [D]to God
\r
8 I [Em]see head[C]lights
\r
9 [G]I made it down the coast in [D]seventeen hours
\r
10 Pick[Em]ing me a bouquet of [C]dogwood flowers
\r
11 And I'm [G]a-hopin' for Raleigh
\r
12 I can [D]see my baby tonight[C]
\r
16 So rock me momma like a wagon wheel,
\r
17 Rock me momma any way you feel, Hey, momma rock me
\r
18 Rock me momma like the wind and the rain,
\r
19 Rock me momma like a south bound train, Hey, momma rock me
\r
21 Running from the cold up in New England,
\r
22 I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band
\r
23 My baby plays a guitar, I pick a banjo now
\r
24 Oh, north country winters keep a-getting me down,
\r
25 I lost my money playing poker so I had to leave town
\r
26 But I ain't turning back to living that old life no more
\r
30 Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
\r
31 I caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long toke
\r
32 But he's a heading west from the Cumberland gap
\r
33 To Johnson City, Tennessee
\r
34 And I gotta get a move on before the sun,
\r
35 I hear my baby calling my name and
\r
36 I know that she's the only one
\r
37 And if I died in Raleigh at least I will die free
\r
