Topic: Help Wanted: 'GIT ALONG LITTLE YEARLINGS' -Jimmie Driftwood

Heard this great old Civil War folk song called: ' Git Along Little Yearlings (We're Going to Texas)
About the trials and tribulations of a family with four little yearlings as the make the long hard journey west to Texas in their wagons.

Jimmie Driftwood did a version in an album of civil war songs back in the mid-1960's.

Here is a Youtube banjo version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNqLtxBx7R4

It sounds like a fun old folk song to play on the acoustic guitar. Would anyone know the chords to this tune.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. And many thanks in advance.
