Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them doggies rollin'
Rawhide
Rain and wind and weather
Hell bent for leather
Wishin' my gal was by my side
All the things I'm missin'
Good vittles, love and kissin'
Are waiting at the end of my ride
Move 'em on (head em' up!)
Head em' up (move 'em on!)
Move 'em on (head em' up!)
Rawhide!
Cut 'em out (ride 'em in!)
Ride 'em in (cut em' out!)
Cut 'em out, Ride 'em in
Rawhide!
Keep movin', movin', movin'
Though they're disapprovin'
Keep them doggies movin'
Rawhide
Don't try to understand 'em
Just rope 'n' throw and brand 'em
Soon we'll be livin' high and wide
My heart's calculatin'
My true love will be waitin'
Be waitin' at the end of my ride
It may sound silly but this is the most beautiful song about driving cattle. It has a beautiful text though so simple. This is one of the songs that took me to country and the wild west. My favorite version of this song is the performance of The Blues Brothers and Frankie Laine.
