Opening Night

I want to wake up in the morning

Where the purple lilacs grow

Where the sun comes a-peepin' into where I'm a sleepin'

And the song birds sing, "Hello" (Hello)

I want to wander through the wild wood

Where the fragrant breezes blow

And drift back to New Hampshire

Where the purple lilacs grow

I want to wake up in the morning

Where the purple lilacs grow

Where the sun comes a-peepin' into where I'm a sleepin'

And the song birds sing, "Hello" (Hello)

I want to wandеr through the wild wood

Where thе fragrant breezes blow

And drift back to New Hampshire

Where the purple lilacs grow

If I had a hammer

I'd hammer in the morning

I'd hammer in the evening

All over this land

I'd hammer out danger

I'd hammer out a warning

I'd hammer about the love between my brothers and my sisters

All, all over this land

If I had a bell

I'd ring it in the morning

I'd ring it in the evening

All over this land

I'd ring out danger

I'd ring out a warning

I'd ring about the love between my brothers and my sisters

All, all over this land

If I had a song

I'd sing it in the morning

I'd sing it in the evening

All over this land

I'd sing out danger

I'd sing out a warning, yeah

I'd sing out about the love between my brothers and my sisters

All, all over this land

Now, I've got a hammer

And I've got a bell

And I've got a song to sing

All over this land

It's the hammer of justice

It's the bell of freedom, yeah

It's the song about the love between my brothers and my sisters

All, all over this land

Headin' down south to the land of the pines

I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline

Starin' up the road and pray to God I see headlights

I made it down the coast in seventeen hours

Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers

And I'm a-hopin' for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight

So, rock me mama like a wagon wheel

Rock me mama any way you feel

Hey... mama rock me

Rock me mama like the wind and the rain

Rock me mama like a southbound train

Hey... mama rock me

Runnin' from the cold up in New England

I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band

My baby plays a guitar, I pick a banjo now

Oh, north country winters keep a-gettin' me down

Lost my money playin' poker, so I had to leave town

But I ain't a-turnin' back to livin' that old life no more

So, rock me mama like a wagon wheel

Rock me mama any way you feel

Hey... mama rock me

Yeah, rock me mama like the wind and the rain

Rock me mama like a southbound train

Hey... mama rock me

Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke

I caught a trucker out of Philly, had a nice long toke

But he's a-headin' west from the Cumberland Gap

To Johnson City, Tennessee

And I gotta get a move on before the sun

I hear my baby callin' my name and I know that she's the only one

And if I died in Raleigh, at least I will die free

So, rock me mama like a wagon wheel

Rock me mama any way you feel

Hey... mama rock me

Oh, rock me mama like the wind and the rain

Rock me mama like a southbound train

Hey... mama rock me

So, rock me mama like a wagon wheel

Rock me mama any way you feel (oh, I wanna feel)

Hey... mama rock me

Rock me mama like the wind and the rain

Rock me mama like a southbound train

Hey... mama rock me
