"Wagon Wheel" is composed of two different parts. The chorus and melody for the song comes from a demo recorded by Bob Dylan during the Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid sessions. Although never officially released, the Dylan song was released on a bootleg and is usually named after the chorus and its refrain of "Rock Me Mama." Although Dylan left the song an unfinished sketch, Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine Show wrote verses for the song around Dylan's original chorus. Secor's additional lyrics transformed "Rock Me Mama" into "Wagon Wheel." Secor has stated the song is partially autobiographical. The song has become extremely popular since its inclusion on Old Crow Medicine Show's major label debut, O.C.M.S. in 2004, although the song appeared in earlier form on the now out of print "Troubles Up and Down the Road" EP in 2001. Dylan's song is often credited to "A. Crudup.", and the official publishing information is Dylan/Secor.

Nice one. That's Bob: wrote songs he finished, wrote songs he never finished; wrote  songs he thought about finishing, wrote songs he had no inetention of finishing. Finished thinking about finishing songs he had not finished. He shoulda started lessons, his own school: a "Finishing School". Well, Mr W.M.(if that IS indeed yer real name, sir!), ah'm NOW finished maself. So to end ,or to FINISH, (allow me ma wee reprise, ma man), ah'll bid you farewell, had onee too many btw, and NOT "mornings". Was gonna read Bob's poem "Ma Life In A Stolen Moment, but guess what? Somebody musta stole it! (or ah coulda mislaid it). OOps, guess ah had not quite finished a while back, ah have now..........   ;)
