What traditional or popular song provided Woody Guthrie with the melody for his song, "Hard Travelin'?"

I been a-havin'some hard travelin',
I thought you knowed.
I been a-havin'some hard travelin',
Way down the road.
I been a-havin'some hard travelin',
Hard ramblin', hard gamblin',
I been a-havin'some hard travelin', Lord.

Thanks,
