Hello Nevada archivers : This could be posted to blues_brothers, misc_teand guy_van_duser (a great guitarist who deserves a directory!)
Here goes :
This is an adaptation of the "Rawhide" melody, copped from Guy
van Duser's "Great Western TV Medley", although he does it with a
capo at the second fret. Let me take this opportunity to plug
Guy -- if you get a chance to hear his CD "American Fingerstyle
Guitar", do so. The "hat" symbol in this is a hammer-on or pull-
off. Now, think of the Blues Brothers in the country bar. 8-)

Rough lyrics for the first two verses, as I remember them:
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Keep those wagons rollin'
Keep those wagons rollin', rawhide
All the things I'm missin'
Good vittles, love and kissin'
Wishin' my girl was by my side
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Though those streams are swollen
Gotta keep 'em rollin', rawhide
Don't try and understand 'em
Just rope and throw and brand 'em
Soon we'll be livin' high and wide
