Thanks to Don for those lyrics to Rawhide. I sang that song as a little girl and I never knew what that line was saying. I would sing, "Rain and wind and weather. Da-da-dah for leather." Now I know!

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 waiting at the end of my ride --from Lyrics (On) Demand Excerpt from the “Rawhide” TV show Theme:

Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them dogies rollin’
Rawhide!
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 waiting at the end of my ride

–from Lyrics (On) Demand
