Lyrics: Bob Dylan/Ketch Secor Music: Bob Dylan/Ketch Secor Written by:Ketch Secor Headed down south to the land of the pines 
And I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline 
Starin' up the road  Pray to god I see headlights 
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours 
Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers 
And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh 
I can see my baby tonight 
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel 
Rock me mama anyway you feel 
Hey mama rock me 
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain 
Rock me mama like a south bound train 
Hey mama rock me 
Runnin' from the cold up in New England  I was born to be a fiddler in an old time stringband 
My baby plays the guitar 
I pick a banjo now 
Oh the North country winters keep a gettin' me now  Lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave  But I ain't a turnin' back 
To livin' that old life no more 
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel 
Rock me mama anyway you feel 
Hey mama rock me 
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain 
Rock me mama like a south bound train 
Hey mama rock me 
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke 
I caught a trucker out of Philly  Had a nice long toke 
But he's a headed west from the Cumberland gap 
To Johnson City Tennessee 
And I gotta get a move on before the sun  I hear my baby callin' my name  She's the only one 
And if I die in Raleigh  At least I will be free 
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel 
Rock me mama anyway you feel 
Hey mama rock me 
Rock me mama like a wagon wheel 
Rock me mama anyway you feel 
Hey mama rock me 
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain  Rock me mama like a south bound train 
Hey mama rock me 
Rock me mama like a wagon wheel 
Rock me mama anyway you feel 
Hey mama rock me 
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain 
Rock me mama like a south bound train 
Hey mama rock me 
Rock me mama like a wagon wheel 
Rock me mama anyway you feel 
Hey mama rock me
