Your butt is mine, gon' tell you right

Just show your face in broad daylight

Gonna hurt your mind, don't shoot to kill

You know I'm bad, I'm bad, you know it

And the whole world has to answer right now

### Lyrics

Rollin', rollin', rollin'

Keep movin', movin', movin'

Though they're disapproving

Keep them dawwgies movin', Rawhide

Don't try to understand them

Just rope and throw and brand '

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

Head 'em on, head 'em up, head 'em up, move 'em on

Move 'em on, head 'em up, Rawhide

Let 'em out, ride 'em in, ride 'em in, let 'em out

Let 'em out, and then Rawhide

Rollin', rollin', rollin'...
