Lyr Req: The Cherokees are after me?

Does anyone remember a song where the guy was in a wagon and the Cherokees "are after me". Every new verse another wheel falls off "But I'am still rolling along". Until eventually the last wheel falls off and he gets captured.

My kids liked what little I could remember of it so I would like the lyrics emailed to me if anyone knows them.

Thanks in advance

Was it New Christie Minstrels or Barry McGuire on his own who had a hit with this? Charlie Drake covered it in the UK, I think, but best forgotten (if it wasn't him then I have forgotten who it was!)I thought we'd had a thread on this before but haven't located it yet.

Beat me to it!Once I'd remembered it was Three wheels...
AMG confirmed New Christie Minstrels and, surprisingly, credits Burt Bacharahch!
