 G                         D
Headin' down south to the land of the pines, 
    Em                    C
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, I can see my baby tonight

 G     D       C
Heeey  momma, rock me
 G                       D
Rock me, momma, like the wind and the rain,

 G                     D
Runnin' from the cold  up in New England, 
      Em                         C
I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band
   G                     D               C
My baby plays a guitar,  I pick a banjo now
    G                            D
Oh, north country winters keep a-gettin' me down
        Em                       C
Lost my money playin' poker so I had to leave town
      G                                   D           C
But I ain't a-turnin' back to livin' that old life no more

 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                 C
But he's a headin' west from the Cumberland gap to Johnson City, Tennessee
   G                   D
I gotta get a move on before the sun
          Em                          C
I hear my baby callin' my name and I know that she's the only one
    G                        D              C
And if I died in Raleigh at least I will die  free
