"'Rawhide' Theme"

Keep them doggies movin'.
Original Lyrics:
Keep them dogies moving.
Allan Mustard adds: "Found on Lyrics on Demand website. As American society has become more urban, rurally rooted words are being forgotten and misheard. A 'dogie' ('dough-gutted' calf) is an orphan calf. 'Dogie' came to be used by drovers as slang for any immature bovine."
"Cool Water"
Misheard Lyrics:
Old Dan and I, with rope-spun ties.
Original Lyrics:
Old Dan and I, with throats burned dry,
"Cry of the Wild Goose"
Misheard Lyrics:
Wild goose, brother goose, witch's vest.
Original Lyrics:
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?
Whenever I see the lyrics to this song posted on the internet, they invariably claim the lyrics are: 'Wild goose, brother, which is best/A wand'ring fool or a heart at rest?' And that's the way I'd always heard the song as well .... But recently I've gotten the song on CD (three different versions of it -- each by Laine), and can say beyond any and all doubt that the correct phrase is 'A wand'ring FOOT or a heart at rest?' The final 't' is soft (Frankie concentrates on the vowels), but distinct in all three versions. Especially so when listened to with headphones. The 'heart'/'foot' metaphor is also much more poetically correct than than the mixed one of 'heart'/'fool.'
"Cry of the Wild Goose"
Misheard Lyrics:
Wild goose, brother goose, witch's vest

Every time I hear a new born baby cry
Or torture Lee
Or see the sky.
Original Lyrics:
Every time I hear a new born baby cry
Or touch a leaf
Or see the sky.
"Rawhide Theme"
Misheard Lyrics:
Keep them doughboys rolling, roll on!
or
Keep them dogies rolling along.
Original Lyrics:
Keep them dogies moving, Rawhide.
"The Man who Shot Liberty Valance"
Misheard Lyrics:
When it came to shootin' strange bass
He was mighty good
Original Lyrics:
When it came to shootin' straight and fast
He was mighty good
