A cover of Ned Washington and Dimitri Tiomkin’s song, originally the theme song from the 1960s show Rawhide. The lyrics are about the job of a drover on a cattle drive. Typical DK acid humour.
[Intro: Spoken]
Goddamn, well, let's do a tune called "Rawhide," okay
Goddamn tape's rollin', let's go
[Intro]
Let's move 'em out!
One, two, three, four!
Aiiyeee[?], yee-haw!
[Verse 1]
Rolin', rollin', rollin'
Rolin', rollin', rollin'
Rolin', rollin', rollin'
Rolin', rollin', rollin'
Keep rollin', rollin', rollin'
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them doggies rollin'
Keep them doggies rollin'
Keep them doggies rollin'
[Chorus]
Rawhide, don't try to understand them
Just throw a rope and brand 'em
Soon, we'll be living high and wide
[Verse 2]
Movin', movin', movin'
Movin', movin', movin'
Movin', movin', movin'
Keep movin', movin', movin'
Though they're disapprovin'
Keep them doggies movin'
Keep them doggies movin'
Keep them doggies movin'
Rawhide
[Bridge]
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 waitin' at the end of my ride
[Outro]
Move 'em out, head 'em up, get 'em up
Move 'em out, head 'em up, get 'em up
Rawhide
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in
Ride 'em in, cut 'em out
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in
Ride 'em in, Rawhide
(Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin')
Rawhide! (Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin')
Rawhide was written by Dimitri Tiomkin & Ned Washington.
