Lyrics Paul Robeson

Paul Robeson

Wagon Wheels

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
