See see rider...

The song "See See Rider" was first made popular by a blues singer named Ma Rainey in 1925.  A traditional 12-bar blues song, it has since been performed and recorded by dozens of artists.  In 1966, the Animals took it to #10 on the Hot 100.  I remember a lot of the local bands doing the song back in the 60's, but today it's just another mostly forgotten oldie.
