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
