Rawhide
Rawhide Rodeo: Journey to Love, Freedom, and High Adventure
Lyrics
Keep movin', movin', movin'
Continue moving
Though they're disapprovin'
Despite disapproval from others
Keep them dogies movin', rawhide
Keep the cattle moving
Don't try to understand 'em
Don't attempt to comprehend the cattle's behavior
Just rope 'em, throw, and brand 'em
Lasso, throw, and mark the cattle
Soon we'll be livin' high and wide
We'll soon live expansively
My heart's calculatin'
My heart is planning
My true love will be waitin'
My true love will be waiting
Be waitin' at the end of my ride
Waiting for me at the end of my journey
Move 'em on, head 'em up
Keep the cattle moving forward
Head 'em up, move 'em on
Guide them ahead
Move 'em on, head 'em up, rawhide!
Continue guiding the cattle forward
Head 'em out, ride 'em in
Lead them in
Ride 'em in, let 'em out
Bring them in and let them go
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in, rawhide!
Bring them back, guiding them forward
The ending lyrics are
(No specific meaning)
Keep rollin', rollin', rollin'
Continue moving
Though the streams are swollen
Despite obstacles like swollen streams
Keep them dogies rollin', rawhide
Keep the cattle moving despite challenges
Through rain and wind and weather
Despite adverse conditions like rain and wind
Hell bent for leather
Going fast and determinedly
Wishin' my gal was by my side
Wishing for the presence of my romantic partner
All the things I'm missin'
The things I lack
Good vittles, love and kissin'
Good food, affection, and intimacy
Are waiting at the end of my ride
Will be there at the end of my journey
Move 'em on, head 'em up
Keep moving the cattle forward
Head 'em up, move 'em on
Lead them ahead
Move 'em on, head 'em up, rawhide!
Continue guiding the cattle forward
Head 'em out, ride 'em in
Lead them in
Ride 'em in, let 'em out
Bring them in and release them
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in, rawhide!
Bring them back, guiding them forward
Rawhide!
