Keep rolli rollin rollin 
though the streams are swollen
Keep them doggies 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 waitin at the end of my ride

Move 'm on head 'm up 
Head 'm up move 'm on 
Move 'm on head 'm up rawhide

Cut 'm out ride 'm in 
Ride 'm in let 'm out
Cut 'm out ride 'm in rawhide

Keep movin', movin', movin',
though they're disapproving,
Keep them dawwgies rollin', Rawhide!
Don't try to understand them,
Just rope and throw and brand 'em,
Soon we'll be living high and wide!
My heart's calculating,
My true love will be waiting,
Be waiting at the end of my ride.

Move 'm on head 'm up
Head 'm up move 'm on
Move 'm on head 'm up rawhide

Cut 'm out ride 'm in
Ride 'm in cut 'm out 
Cut 'm out ride 'm in rawhide
Ride 'm in rawhide
