"'Rawhide' Theme"
Don't try to understand-o
Just rope Marlon Brando.
Don't try to understand 'em,
Just rope, roll, and brand 'em.
"'Rawhide' Theme"
Keep them doggies movin'.
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"
Old Dan and I, with rope-spun ties.
Old Dan and I, with throats burned dry,
"Cry of the Wild Goose"
Wild goose, brother goose, witch's vest.
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"
Wild goose, brother goose, witch's vest
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best
"I Believe"
Every time I hear a new born baby cry
Or torture Lee
Or see the sky.
Every time I hear a new born baby cry
Or touch a leaf
Or see the sky.
"Rawhide Theme"
Keep them doughboys rolling, roll on!
or
Keep them dogies rolling along.
Keep them dogies moving, Rawhide.
"The Man who Shot Liberty Valance"
When it came to shootin' strange bass
He was mighty good
When it came to shootin' straight and fast
He was mighty good
