I pray to God I see it light
And I'm hoping for Raleigh
I can see my baby tonight
Rock me, momma, any way you feel
I say hey, momma, rock me
like the wind and the rain
Rock me like a southbound train,
Running from the cold, up in New England
I was born to be a fiddler
in an old time string band
My baby plays the guitar, I pick a banjo
The North Country winters
I lost my money playing poker
I'm not living that old life anymore
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama any way you feel
Rock me like a southbound train,
Caught a trucker out of Philly,
Now I gotta get a move on, pay for the stun
I hear my baby callin' money,
and I know she's not the only one
So rock me, mama, like a wagon wheel
like the wind and the rain
Rock me like a southbound train,
Rock me, mama, like a wagon wheel
Rock me in a way you feel, I say hey
like the wind and the rain
Rock me like a southbound train,
