ROWDY
(Jerre Lee Turner)


Clint Eastwood - 1962




(Move along, keep 'em movin', movin' on)
(Move along, keep 'em movin', movin' on)
(Move along)

Ridin' hard, ridin' fast , always on the go
This is just a drover's life, this is all I know
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, Rowdy)

Head 'em up, move 'em out, always on the run
Got to make a few more miles before the setting sun
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, Rowdy)

I've never had a love to call my own
A poor drover's life is always alone
(Oooh-ooh-aah, always alone, alone, alone)

Into ev'ry cattle town, it's always been the same
Think I'm just a saddle bum, they don't know my name
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, Rowdy)

Guess that I'm rough alright, but I've never done no wrong
This is such a lonely trail, Lord, it seems so long
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, Rowdy)

Well, I'm gonna leave someday, go far, far away
And find me a home and love of my own
(Oooh-ooh-aah, of my own, of my own)

When I find that little girl, and I will someday
Gonna treat her kind, I'll change my rowdy ways
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, Rowdy)

'Cause I've never had a love to call my own
A poor drover's life is always alone (Oooh-ooh-aah)
But I'm gonna leave someday, go far, far away
And find me a home and love, and a love of my own
(Keep 'em movin', movin' on, movin' on, movin' on)
(Keep 'em movin' .............. FADE)
