You can always tell a great song when great artists can reinvent it over and over again. I came to this song from Roger McGuinn who credited Bob Gibson. Daddy Roll Em

Daddy Roll em Gibson and Camp live at the Gate of Horn

It tells a story like their driving cattle or something. Gibson and Camp had incredible voices and Bob Gibson was a master 12 string player.

Now, I recently discovered a completely different version by Joe & Eddie

Joe and Eddie Roll on This one seems to be about some relationship "You know I love and I leave em" The vocals are incredible and the instrumentation sparse But that was Joe and Eddie's trademark. Does anyone know the origin and/or history about this song. And, I am not having any success with these "links"
