Wagon wheels, wagon wheels,
keep on a-turnin', wagon wheels,
roll along, sing your song,
carry me over the hill.
Go 'long, mule, there's a steamer at the landin',
waitin' for the cotton to load,
go 'long mule, the boss is understandin'
there's a pasture at the end of the road.
Wagon wheels, wagon wheels,
keep on a-turnin', wagon wheels,
roll along, sing your song,
wagon wheels, carry me home,
wagon wheels, carry me home.
