Wagon Wheel

Big Bill Broonzy>Bob Dylan>Ketch Secor

[G] [D]
Headed down south to the land of the pines
[Em] [C]
And I’m thumbin’ my way into North Caroline
[G] [D] [C]
Starin’ up the road, and pray to God I see headlights

[G] [D]
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
[Em] [C]
Pickin’ me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
[G] [D] [C]
And I’m a hopin’ for Raleigh so I can see my baby tonight, So

[G] [D]
Rock me mama like a wagon wheel
[Em] [C]
Rock me mama anyway you feel
[G] [D] [C]
Heeeey, mama rock me
[G] [D]
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
[Em] [C]
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
[G] [D] [C] [G] [D, [Em] [C] [G] [D] [C] [C]
Heeeey, mama rock me

[G] [D]
Runnin’ from the cold up in New England
[Em] [C]
I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time stringband
[G] [D] [C]
My baby plays the guitar, I pick a banjo now

Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin’ me now
[Em] [C]
Lost my money playin’ poker so I had to up and leave
[G] [D] [C]
But I ain’t a turnin’ back To livin’ that old life no more, So

[G] [D]
Rock me mama like a wagon wheel
[Em] [C]
Rock me mama anyway you feel
[G] [D] [C]
Heeeey, mama rock me
[G] [D]
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
[Em] [C]
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
[G] [D] [C] [G] [D] [Em] [C] [G] [D] [C] [C]
Heeeey, mama rock me

Verse: (One Strum On Each Bar)
[G] [D]
Walkin’ to the south out of Roanoke,
[Em] [C]
I caught a trucker out of Philly Had a nice long toke
[G] [D]
But he’s a headed west from the Cumberland Gap
[C] [C]
To Johnson City, Tennessee and I

(continue strumming)
[G] [D]
Gotta get a move on fit for the sun
[Em]
I hear my baby callin’ my name
[C]
And I know that she’s the only one
[G] [D] [C]
And if I die in Raleigh At least I will die free, So

[G] [D]
Rock me mama like a wagon wheel
[Em] [C]
Rock me mama anyway you feel
[G] [D] [C]
Heeeey, mama rock me
[G] [D]
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
[Em] [C]
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
[G] [D] [C] [G]
Heeeey, mama rock me
[G] [D] [C] [G]
Heeeey, mama rock me
