Trains rushin', here and there Flying machines flashin' through the air Automobiles all shiny and new Poor folks with nothing else to do But when I wanna travel To the soil I plead I climb on my wagon And see Wagon wheels, wagon wheels Keep on a turnin' wagon wheels Roll along, sing your song Carry me over the hill Go on mule, there's a steamer at the landin' Waiting for this cotton to load Go on mule, the boss is understandin' There's a pasture at the end of each 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
