I left my sweetheart a long time ago She cried and she pleaded and begged me not to go We had a quarrel and i started to roam Big wheels big wheels carry me home
Oh big wheels a-rolling carry me back I know my baby's waiting down by the railroad track I can see old drivers i hear old whistles moan Big wheels big wheels carry me home
I dreamed of her in texas nevada was the same Oh way up in new hampshire i even called her name She said she still loved me when i called her on the phone Big wheels big wheels carry me home
If i could travel over to england or to spain Or way down in the south seas i know it'd be the same In germany or switzerland or in the town of rhome I'd think of her and tell the world carry me home
