Basically the same as the Old Crow Medicine Show version, but a step down (i.e. no capo). 
The basic strum pattern is: down, down/up, down/up.

{intro}

G5                        D5
Headed down south to the land of the pines

Thumbin' my way into North Caroline
G5
Starin' at the road
D5           C5             C5

I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
E5                      C5
Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
    G5
And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh
      D5             C5      C5
I can see my baby tonight

I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time stringband

My baby plays the guitar
