Rawhide Lyrics

Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rawhide

Keep rollin', rollin', rollin'
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them dogies rollin', rawhide
Through 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 dogies movin', rawhide
Don't try to understand 'em
Just rope 'em, 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

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

Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rawhide
Rawhide

The lyrics vividly depict the challenges faced by cowboys as they drive their herds across vast landscapes, contending with adverse weather and rough terrain. The repeated refrain "Rollin', rollin', rollin'" emphasizes the continuous, unyielding nature of their journey. Despite physical hardships, there's a deeper longing for emotional comfort ("Wishin' my gal was by my side"), highlighting the cowboy's isolation from loved ones. Ultimately, the song celebrates both perseverance in duty and the anticipation of returning to simpler pleasures—love, food, and home—waiting at journey’s end. It's a timeless ode to endurance and hope amid life’s trials 🌄.
