[Chorus: Jason Manns, Richard Speight, Jr. & Rob Benedict]
Rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama any way you feel
Hey, mama rock me
Oh, rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a southbound train
Hey, mama rock me

[Verse 1: Jason Manns]
Heading down south to the land of the pines
Thumbin' my way to North Caroline
Staring up the road and pray to God I see headlights
Well, 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

[Chorus: Jason Manns, Richard Speight, Jr. & Rob Benedict]
Oh, rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama any way you feel
Hey, mama rock me
Oh, rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a southbound train
Hey, mama rock me

[Verse 2: Richard Speight, Jr.]
Runnin' 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 now
Oh, the north country winters keep a-getting me now
Lost my money playing poker so I had to up and leave
But I ain't turning back to living that poor life no more
[Chorus: Jason Manns, Richard Speight, Jr. & Rob Benedict]
Oh, rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama any way you feel
Hey, mama rock me
Oh, rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a southbound train
Hey, mama rock me

[Verse 3: Rob Benedict]
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
Caught a trucker out of Philly, had a nice long toke
But he's a heading west from the Cumberland gap
To Johnson City at Tennessee
Well, I gotta get a move on before the sun
Hear my baby call my name and I know that she's the only one
And if I die in Raleigh, at least I will die free

[Chorus: Jason Manns, Richard Speight, Jr. & Rob Benedict]
Oh, rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama any way you feel
Hey, mama rock me
Oh, rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a southbound train
Hey, mama rock me

Oh, rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama any way you feel
Hey, mama rock me
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a southbound train
Hey, mama rock me
Hey, mama rock me
