Default Chord progression symbols for Railroad Bill et.al.

When people use symblols like I IV V I to explain chord progressions, what would they use for songs like Railroad Bill, Freight Train and similar ones which have this progression if played in C?
C - - - - - - - - -C
Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill
E - - - - - - - - - - - - F
He never worked and he never will

My guess is I III IV, but I didn't find this progression listed on some fairly comprehensive web sites such as Olav Torvund's page at http://www.torvund.net/Guitar/progressions/index.asp .
