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 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

Is that last verse about cattle or women?  Am I naive for even

wondering?

Cordially,

Blind Squirrel Bowerman
