C
I left my sweetheart a long time ago

F                                              C
She cried and she pleaded and begged me not to go

 
We had a quarrel and I started to roam

                      G7       C
Big wheels big wheels carry me home

 
 
Oh big wheels a-rolling carry me back

F                                             C
I know my baby's waiting down by the railroad track

 
I can see old drivers I hear old whistles moan

                      G7       C
Big wheels big wheels carry me home

 
 
I dreamed of her in Texas Nevada was the same

F                                            C
Oh way up in New Hampshire I even called her name

 
She said she still loved me when I called her on the phone

                      G7       C
Big wheels big wheels carry me home


 
Oh big wheels a-rolling carry me back

F                                             C
I know my baby's waiting down by the railroad track

 
I can see old drivers I hear old whistles moan

                      G7       C
Big wheels big wheels carry me home


 
If I could travel over to England or to Spain

F                                                C
Or way down in the South Seas I know it'd be the same

 
In Germany or Switzerland or in the town of Rhome

                                    G7       C
I'd think of her and tell the world carry me home


 
Oh big wheels a-rolling carry me back

F                                             C
I know my baby's waiting down by the railroad track

 
I can see old drivers I hear old whistles moan

                      G7       C
Big wheels big wheels carry me home
