Rawhide (1959–1965): Season 1, Episode 22 - Incident of a Burst of Evil - full transcript
A beaten and incoherent man named Bain staggers into the drovers' camp. Trail boss Favor orders some of his men to search the surrounding area for the source of the trouble. Rowdy comes upon some hungry and mistreated women and a young boy alone on the prairie. He assists them by returning with food which one of them, Louise, repays by slipping a silver mirror into his saddle bag. Rowdy returns to camp where he and Favor along with Wishbone and Mushy go to a nearby settlement for supplies. At the store the owner recognizes the mirror as belonging to a woman killed by Comanches. He and others assume Rowdy is a Comanchero forcing the men to leave with no supplies. Meanwhile back at camp Favor starts putting the pieces together and finally learns from Bain that outlaws (Comancheros) are behind what has happened to the man, boy, and women and that the cattle herd is in danger. Rowdy leaves on his own to find the woman but is captured and tied up by the Comancheros. Louise releases and escapes with him. Bain leads Favor and the drovers to a sight where a battle ensues with the Comancheros over the young man - Bain's son. Bain admits he was to distract the men away from the herd. Favor and the drovers return in time to ambush the Comancheros as they attack the herd.
Hyah!
?Rollin', rollin', rollin'?
Hyah!
?Rollin', rollin', rollin'?
Keep movin', movin', movin'?
Though they're disapprovin'?
Keep them dogies movin'?
Rawhide?
Don't try to understand 'em?
Just rope 'em, throw,
and brand 'em?
Soon we'll be livin'
high and wide?
My heart's calculatin'?
My true love will be waitin'?
Be waitin'
at the end of my ride?
Move 'em on, head 'em up,
head 'em up, move 'em on?
Move 'em on, head 'em up,
rawhide?
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in?
Ride 'em in, let 'em out,
cut 'em out, ride 'em in?
Rawhide...?
?Rollin', rollin', rollin'?
?Rollin', rollin', rollin'...?
Hyah!
Hyah!
Rawhide...!?
Hyah!
Pretty hard to beat it
when it sets in solid-
boredom.
You can feel it close in
like heat around your riders,
watch it dull them to the point
where the drive
gets to be something
they'd just as soon forget.
But they can't afford
to forget it.
I can't afford to let them.
My name's Gil Favor,
trail boss.
You talk to Mushy
this afternoon?
No, why?
Oh, he claims
he saw it again-
the wild man
up in the hill.
That makes it
about four times
in the last two days.
Look.
Quince and Scarlet-
they ought to know better.
Aw, leave 'em go, Pete.
Up there!
There he goes again!
Aw, he just ducks
away every time.
Grown men chasing something
that ain't there,
taking a chance
on busting up
good horses' legs.
Aw, let 'em be.
They could use
a little excitement.
Be turning dark in
a couple of hours.
You find a good
spot to bed down?
About three
or four miles ahead.
You want to take
a look?
All right.
All right, clear out of here!
Now, you're all gonna have
to stay out of my way,
or you're gonna be
wearing this stew
instead of eating it.
Tell me, Wishbone,
did you see that wild man
the same time Mushy did?
'Course I seen it.
You think he's the only one
with eyes in his head?
Aw, come on, Wish,
you're too old
to be making up yarns like that.
I tell ya, I saw it.
Think ol' Wish is gonna have
to get himself some specs.
It ain't no yarn, Pete.
Me and Scarlet saw it
real plain,
and believe me,
it's human.
Ain't riding a horse, is it?
I didn't say that.
Well, then how could it
keep up with this herd
for two days on foot?
We bed down,
don't we?
Thing travels at night.
Next time you see it, it'll
probably be riding a broomstick.
Hold him! Hold him!
He's getting away!
Somebody come over
here and help us!
Is that your
wild man, Quince?
That's him, all right,
and he looks real hurt to me.
He's hurt, all right.
What happened to you, mister?
Uh... uh...
they did it to me.
They did it to me.
They'll get to you.
WhoWhat are you talking about?
They're gonna...
come at you hard.
A whole lot of them.
Better get him
into the supply wagon.
What do you make of it?
Who's gonna come
at us hard?
He's out of his mind,
that's what I make of it.
Maybe he's out of
his mind, maybe not.
What do you mean?
I'm not quite sure what
I mean just yet, but...
there's just
something about him.
He finally let
us catch him,
talked just enough to
make it interesting,
and he didn't say who was
after us- just "they."
He sure is battered.
That he is.
Well, a bad fall on the rocks
could do something like that.
Something we can't
afford to guess
about, though.
We'll do some scouting
first thing in the morning.
All right, spread out,
take a good look around,
and then come back.
If you run into any trouble,
don't try to handle it alone.
You come on in for help.
Move out.
That man feeling any better
this morning?
Well, he's still
asleep or unconscious.
I don't know which,
after what you said.
Well, I'll make certain
that he stays in the wagon.
Let's get the beef
on the move.
Right.
Are you alone?
Well, it's, uh...
well, it's not good for a girl
to be alone out here.
You sure you're all right?
You... you don't have
to be afraid of me.
I am not afraid.
W... Would you mind
saying that again?
Why?
Well, the...
way you talked, it...
it sounds to me like
you don't belong out here.
I do not belong anywhere.
Well, it's hard to tell
how you got this far out.
I walked.
You walked?
Oh, that, uh, that
doesn't make any sense.
That-that doesn't make
any sense at all, now.
It's been a long time
since I found anything
that makes sense...
as you say.
Well, who... who are you?
What's your name?
My name?
Yeah.
You wouldn't understand.
Give me a try.
You would not.
You wish to know my name?
Yeah.
All right.
I am Luisa Maria
de la Fuentes,
Contessa de Torres.
You see?
You don't understand.
Well... no, but, uh,
I sure like the sound of it.
It doesn't matter.
In this country,
nothing matters.
In this country,
a woman is less
than a dog.
And much less
than a horse.
A... pretty girl like you
saying stuff like that...
Hey, wait a minute.
I want to talk to you.
Who are these people?
I'm with them.
They your folks?
No.
Wh-What's he gonna do with that?
It will be cooked.
A lizard?
When there is nothing else.
Boy, I've seen people hungry,
but never nothing like this.
You want to wait here
till I get back?
Get back?
Well, I'm with a herd
not far from here.
I can get you people
some decent food.
Oh, by the way, uh,
we found a man near
our camp last night,
been beaten pretty bad.
You know anything
about it?
No.
Well, you'll-you'll
wait here, now, huh?
Remember that.
Yeah.
Hey, Wishbone, hold up!
Pull up, Wishbone!
Pull up!
Ho!
Hold it. I
need something.
You need something?
See anything
out there?
Boys, you're never
gonna believe this.
There's three starving
women out there.
Three what?
He said,
three starving women.
Rowdy...
I don't know how they got there
or what they're doing there.
They're alone?
All by themselves.
They didn't say why, huh?
No. Most likely,
their wagon broke down.
I figure they're gypsies or
some religious group moving on.
Boy, they're in a bad way.
I come to get some food
from Wishbone.
Now, just a minute,
I'm real low on supplies.
You know that, Mr. Favor.
But you couldn't find out
exactly who they were, huh?
Well, they're gypsies, but, boy,
they're hungry, I'll tell you.
Well, the map said
we'll be passing
the Morris trading post
before noon.
You let them have
the food, Wish.
Well, I hope your map says
that Morris will have
what we need.
All right, Mushy, get 'em
some bacon and beans
and a couple of loaves
of bread.
You sure
they were alone?
Well, no,
wait a minute.
There was...
there was a kid
with them.
Caught a lizard
and they were going to eat it.
Well, they're
in a bad way, boss.
Oh, also they don't know
anything about that man we found
the other night.
You take them the food,
and if they're stranded,
you bring 'em on back.
But remember,
we're moving cattle,
not picking up strays.
And stay out of trouble.
All right.
These women know
how to cook?
Who knows how to cook
a lizard, huh?
Lizard.
A lizard?
Ugh.
Come on!
You think he'll find us?
He always does.
I don't mean Jonas.
I mean that young drover.
Oh, no, I don't think
he will come back.
You were waiting
for him.
I wasn't waiting
for anything.
I was simply sitting here.
If I hadn't been here,
I would have been somewhere else
equally unimportant.
Well, it's a good thing
Jonas didn't find us
while he was here.
You know, there was a time
and a place
where Jonas would have hanged
by his thumbs
just for looking at me.
I sure would like
to have seen that.
Maybe that young drover
will come back.
No. He meant well,
but we won't see him again.
You sure you're not
saying one thing
and hoping for another?
He said he was
going to bring food.
I'm trying to forget
what he said.
I-I like him.
And I won't let myself
to be disappointed.
Look yonder.
Jonas?
Your young drover.
This is the best I could do.
Thank you.
Thank you.
There's more stuff
in there if you want.
You came back.
Oh, uh, I brought you this.
I thought
you might need it.
For me?
Yeah, it's an extra one I had.
I don't need it.
It might be nice
for your hair.
For my hair?
Do you like it?
Sure like the way you talk.
Let me give you something
in return.
You see, you may
use it when you shave.
I couldn't take anything
like this from you.
Of course, you can.
The others don't know
I have it.
Yeah, but this is made
out of silver.
No, I couldn't take it.
I couldn't take that.
Well, as you say.
Did you say there's
other things there
as well as the bread?
Oh, yeah, there's some
beans and bacon.
I'll get you something
you don't have to cook.
What is that?
Our cook calls this
johnnycake.
Johnnycake.
Yeah.
Hmm.
Do you like it?
It's very good.
As good as anything
at Maximilian's table.
WhoMaximilian?
You know of Maximilian
and Carlota?
Oh...
The king and queen
of Mexico.
More than that.
He was the emperor,
and she was the empress.
Had it pretty soft, huh?
Oh, no.
He was killed
by firing squad.
Last I saw her,
she was in chains.
Did you work with these people
or something?
I was a lady-in-waiting
to Her Majesty.
A lady-in-waiting?
You don't believe me?
How did you get out here?
When we were overrun
by the rebels,
some of us were
brought north
so that we could go
to California.
But our party
was attacked
by Comanches.
Comanches, huh?
How did you get away
from them?
Well, now,
what do we got here?
He's all right.
He makes no trouble.
You know these men?
Yes. They're with us.
We're with you?
That's a new way
of putting it,
but I like it that way.
Didn't you tell him
about us?
He's been kind, Jonas.
He brought food.
Now why would
he want to go
and do a thing
like that?
Just trying to help out
a little, that's all.
Isn't often you find a girl
out on the prairie alone.
She didn't try and talk you
into helping her, did she?
She didn't try
and talk me into nothing.
She's a talker, this one.
You listen, she'll tell you
she's even a real fancy lady.
A countess.
Where you from, mister?
I'm with a cattle drive
moving north...
not far from here.
Is that where this
food came from?
What difference
does it make?
Does it look
like we're starving?
The three of you
look all right,
but the rest of these people
look kind of poor to me.
Now, you can't say that
about the countess,
now, can you?
What's she doing
with you anyway?
She belongs to me.
I got her from some
Tonkawas.
I swapped
a mule for her.
It was not some Tonkawa.
Don't try that again.
Not in front of me.
What would you do?
You try it and find out.
No need.
Not now.
You can see it don't make
no difference to her.
I didn't know
you were back.
I wasn't doing
no hollering
about it.
Something wrong?
Those women,
they had three
men with them.
They came up
when I was there.
They give you
any trouble?
I don't think those
people could give
anybody any trouble.
Three men-
you sure that was all?
There might be more.
Why don't I take some
of our people and ride back?
Rowdy...
we got 3,000 reasons
why you don't.
Now, we're going to lose
some of them
if you don't give us
a little help
in kicking them along.
If your friends need help,
they can catch up.
Look, Mr. Favor...
You'd better come
along with me,
on second thought.
Where?
We're turning out
the chuck wagon,
going into Morris
for supplies.
I'd still like to go back
after those drifters.
I'm sure you would.
You'll get into less trouble
with me, though.
Wishbone, cut out
and follow me!
Mister, I want
to talk to you.
Hold up, Johnny!
What do you want?
I want to tell you
you're riding into trouble-
Comancheros.
Comancheros?
You're riding into 'em.
They're waiting for you.
What's Comancheros, Pete?
Anybody in this part of Texas
can tell you
there's nothing crawls
the Earth
lower than a Comanchero.
They're a dirty, murdering
bunch of renegade whites
that trade with the Comanches.
But they don't only trade
for gold and silver.
They buy captive women
and children,
turn 'em into slaves
and sell 'em below the border.
Comancheros are about
the only things on two legs
that a man doesn't get hanged
for killing.
What do you know about
Comancheros, mister?
You one of them?
Not me.
I rode into 'em...
or they rode into me.
Me and my son was moving
my wagon across the plain.
A man's got to go somewhere
when his wife takes up
with fever
out of nowhere and dies.
Makes a man kind of aimless.
You got my sympathy.
What about the Comancheros?
You know about 'em.
Maybe you men hadn't met up
with 'em yet, huh?
They raise up all around you
from nowhere.
You don't fight 'em,
you don't argue with 'em.
You either join 'em
or you don't.
I joined 'em.
Yeah, I been with 'em.
I'll admit I've been
with 'em quite a while.
I been with 'em long enough
to know when
they're going to hit.
They're going to hit you.
Wait a minute.
How come you got the word?
If you know about it,
you must be in on it.
Look at my face, mister.
Look at that.
I look like a man they let go?
I don't care what you look like.
Comancheros wouldn't think
nothing about marking up
one of their own kind,
sending him in as a decoy.
You made a mighty big
statement, mister.
You better back it up.
With proof.
I got no proof.
I was hurt and starving
when you men picked me up.
You didn't try
to kill me.
You helped me
the best you could.
I'm trying to help you now.
You can believe me
or not.
I just hate to think
what's going to happen
if you don't believe me.
You say the Comancheros
are going to hit us.
You know when or where?
There's a pass
about ten miles ahead.
I don't much care now
if you know or not.
I told you.
It's up to you
to do what you want now.
I can't stand
this pain much longer.
It's coming over me.
I warned you.
Do what you think best.
Scarlet, ride up to the point
and tell 'em to stop the herd.
All right.
Hey, Rowdy?
Yeah?
You know, I was
kind of counting
on buying a couple
of jars of tobacco,
and you know what?
No, what?
By some strange
coincidence,
You left your money
back at camp.
I just happened
to leave
my money back
at camp, yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Well, I... I only need a dollar,
and you wouldn't be
giving it to me.
You'd only be putting
it on account-
on account of the poker-losing
you owe me.
Well... all right, being
as you're putting it that way.
That's the way
I put it.
Well, where'd you get a thing
like that?
I guess that girl
gave it to me.
Well, if this ain't
the daintiest.
Whatcha keeping
it hid for?
Afraid somebody's
gonna catch you
checking your
beautiful curls?
Now, look here,
Wishbone...
That's real pretty,
Mr. Rowdy.
Silver frame-
boy, I didn't know
you had anything like that.
Where's the powder puff
that goes with it?
Tell me something, Wishbone.
You want that dollar I owe you?
Well, you're mighty
well told I do.
Well, you can just whistle
up your elbow for it.
Why, I don't think very much
of a fella
that can't take
a little friendly joking.
Sure never figured we had
a trail herd this close.
Didn't see your dust.
For once, the stretch
wasn't dry enough to raise dust.
Well, well, well.
How from this town
are you?
About five miles west.
Well, I guess
you got money,
so I can let you
have all the flour
and beans you want,
but... no bacon.
Ain't had any bacon
since last fall.
Anything else
you can think of?
Axle grease, but
I don't see none.
Got a lot of lard.
I know, mister,
but lard ain't the same
as axle grease.
That's not what
you told me
when you fried that
last batch of spuds.
You shut up.
I'll look around for a bit.
Hey, Rowdy, let me look
at the mirror a minute.
What for?
Oh, you know...
Uh...
I think it's better
that you don't see
what we see, Wish.
Oh, come on.
I ain't gonna eat it.
Let me use the mirror.
All right.
Did you ever see anything
like that?
I never did.
Hey, mister, how much
for the trick hat?
That's genuine beaver.
I'd say... eight dollars.
Eight dollars?
That mirror...
looks like it's got
a real silver frame.
If it has,
I'll make you an even...
trade.
Hey, wait a second.
That ain't his.
Oh, go on, Rowdy.
It's a good way
to get rid of it.
That way the men
won't jibe you,
and I'll be owing you
instead of you me.
Give it back to me.
This belong to you?
That's right.
Where'd you get it?
Why?
Better tell me.
A girl gave it to me,
a girl I met
out on the prairie.
You think
that story's gonna wash?
What's this all about, mister?
There's engraving on this.
Says "Laura L. Benton."
Well, what about it?
The Bentons were slaughtered
by the Comanches.
Ranch looted and burned out.
Only two kinds
of people
that have that
looking glass now:
Comanches or...
Comancheros.
You don't look like a Comanche.
What are you saying, mister?
You've got this,
ain't you?
I had my own place
burned out once.
My wife and...
ten-year-old daughter with it.
You know how that feels, too,
don't you, Charlie?
Wait a second.
Don't start crowding me.
I don't think
it's gonna be too smart
for anybody to start
crowding anybody.
Oh, you don't, huh?
Anybody want any of this?!
All right, that'll
be about all.
You tote up our tab.
You don't get no supplies
from me, mister.
You gonna stick up for him
and his mirror,
his special mirror?
Mrs. Benton's mirror?
Get out of here, Rowdy.
You, too, Wishbone, Mushy.
You better turn him over,
mister,
or I'll spread the word
that you got one of his kind
working for you,
maybe more.
Now just stand easy,
all of you.
Hyah! Hyah!
There's nobody following.
No use pushing the horses.
So we got away from 'em.
What good's it going
to do us?
You don't want
to fight those people.
Nothing wrong with them.
You hear what
they called me?
A Comanchero.
A lousy Comanchero!
Forget it.
You think
they're going to forget it?
You didn't get your supplies,
did you?
We'll eat more beef,
less biscuits.
Comanchero- a name like that
stays with you
the rest of your life,
no matter where you go.
It isn't going to do you no good
to go back there
and fight over it, though.
I got us into trouble
this time, boss.
Real trouble.
I said forget it.
There's no forgetting it.
Do you know what it's like
to be called a Comanchero?
Yeah, I know
all about it.
If we don't go back to them,
they'll be coming to us.
Not enough of 'em for that.
They'll get more.
They'll hit us before
we're a day's drive from here.
We'll face that
when and if it comes up.
Well, it's going to come.
It's going to be my fault.
I got to find that girl.
She's the only proof I have.
There's not much
chance of that.
So come on.
What's wrong?
I figured you'd be
three or four miles
ahead by now.
Looks like we got
trouble, boss.
Now what?
That fellow
we picked up.
He's feeling better
and thinking straight.
He says we're going
to be raided
by Comancheros.
Comancheros?
Claims they're the ones
that beat him up.
Sounds pretty convincing.
I think you ought
to talk to him.
So do I.
What's this about, mister?
I'm telling you the truth.
I'm willing to show you
where they are.
Why?
You've been decent to me.
That the only reason?
You can see
what they done to me.
How many of them
are there?
Well, I only saw
of few of them.
But they're meeting up
with a whole bunch of them
somewhere around here.
He claims they're going
to hit us about ten miles ahead.
Rowdy?
Where's Rowdy?
Rowdy!
I want all the men
except Wishbone, Mushy
Cunning, Belding
and Murphy.
They'll stay here
with you.
Rowdy's gone, Mr. Favor.
Gone where?
I seen him ride out
after we come in.
Now, why would he do that?
Because he's a pigheaded,
stubborn young idiot,
that's why.
He's riding into trouble...
maybe more than
he can handle.
There's no reason
why he can't have help,
Mr. Favor.
Me and some of the men
can ride in...
You and some
of the men?
We're hired to try
and deliver this herd,
not to try
and lose it.
Rowdy'll have
to go it alone.
Go right up ahead
to where those
Comancheros are.
We'll hit 'em
away from the herd.
Bane, you'll
ride with me.
Johnny, cut him out
a mount.
Yes, sir, Mr. Favor.
My men will come
from up here,
slice the herd in half,
send them back
the other way.
You know a cowhide
will bring ten dollars
apiece below the border.
There's over 2,000 hides
just for the taking
if you do like I say.
As you say, Jonas.
You take these men
and get started.
I'll pick up the rest.
All of you men,
you're all going
to go with Hess!
All right, mount up!
Here, take
the kid with you.
Get on the horse there!
Don't move.
Well, now,
look who's come calling.
What are you doing
here, cowman?
Come to see
the countess?
You're a real stubborn
man, ain't you?
Find you can't get a woman
by giving her presents,
so you figure you'll come here
and try and steal her, huh?
I see she didn't keep
the present very long.
You wouldn't have me waste
a pretty think like this
on her kind,
would you?
Maybe you figure
I ought to give it back to her.
I don't know what
she'd want to do with it
after it's been around
your filthy neck.
Tie him up.
I want him here
when I come back!
Get me a knife.
It's okay.
Ooh...
It hurts?
How'd I get in here?
I pulled you.
Another woman helped me.
You shouldn't try yet.
I'll be all right.
I'll... be all right...
If you will just
wait until tonight,
until you are stronger,
I'll help you get away.
Yeah.
I, uh... I'll tell you what.
I want you to go back
with me.
You should rest now.
No, I'm serious.
That's why I came back here,
was to get you.
To get me?
Look, you've got to come back
with me.
Come back where?
To the trading post,
the other side of our trail.
Why?
Well, that...
that looking glass you gave me-
that sort of started it all.
The mirror got you into trouble?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Oh, it wasn't your fault.
You couldn't have known
about it.
But if you come back with me,
everything will be all right.
But...
I can't leave here.
You've got to understand.
I need this bad.
You come with me, and I'll get
you back to your own people.
Go back home?
Yeah.
No, I-I couldn't go there.
You want to stay here
with these Comancheros?
I hate them.
But I can't go home,
now or ever.
Well, why not?
Look at me.
See what I have become...
what these animals
have made of me.
Well...
look, you've got to treat
this thing
like it's been
a-a bad dream.
Hmm.
You'll feel better when you get
back with your own people.
I-I know you will.
That's easy tosay.
I say it,
and I mean it.
I...
I'll go with you,
if you want.
Good.
Where'd those men go
that were out there?
They are going to
a kind of meeting.
What kind of meeting?
I don't know.
Something about cattle.
CattleWhat about cattle?
I don't know, they...
I heard a little talk.
These men are not
tolerant of women,
but they said something
about a flank.
Flank.
If you know
what this means...
Yeah, flank, that means
the center of a herd.
God, I must have
been hit hard.
I ain't been thinking.
They're... if they're
after a herd,
they're probably
afterourherd.
There is only one
way to leave here.
That is back where
the women are working.
But what happens
if they see us?
They say nothing.
You see, there is
not one woman here
who doesn't hate
the Comancheros.
Well, all right.
All right, we're here
to keep 'em busy
while Jonas cuts a slice
through the middle of the herd.
We'll keep 'em
busy, all right.
Now, stay covered
until they get close.
I said, "Stay covered."
I didn't mean
to bury yourself.
Move on out there.
Move!
That's my son!
Hold your fire!
Roy!
Down!
This was a trick
to drive you off.
They beat me.
They set me among youse
to lead you
into this ambush.
If I didn't,
they said they'd kill my son.
Well, they've killed him anyway.
The boy's still moving.
Where are the others?
The main bunch is
gonna hit your herd.
This is a trick,
I'm telling you.
They made me do this.
You two, take care of Bain
and his boys.
See they come back with us.
The rest of you,
gather in your horses.
We're heading back
for the herd.
Butt those saddles,
and start fanning.
Come on!
Help me, will you?
All right,
we've made it.
But we're not
out of trouble yet.
That herd's all spread out,
and we don't know where those
Comancheros are gonna hit.
So, bunch 'em up, and fast!
Mr. Favor!
They're
coming up fast.
They're gonna hit
the middle of the herd.
Pete, come on.
You get in
that wagon, Louise.
Get rid of the horses!
Ya!
Ya! Ha!
I want to smash them
on the first pass.
Hit men if you can,
horses if you have to.
But we've gotta shear 'em off
before they bite
into the cattle.
Rowdy, how many
there'll be?
A lot of them, boss.
There they are.
Ten dollars a hide
just for the taking.
Ya!
Ha!
Your men must have killed
two dozen of those Comancheros.
I'm sure glad you came back,
so we could tell you
how wrong we were.
And we're sorry,
son, real sorry.
I hope you can forget
what we said.
Oh, that's all right.
Long as everything is
straightened out now.
Oh, that mirror that the lady
give you, uh, it's yours.
You ought to have it.
No, that belongs to her.
I'm gonna make sure
she gets it back.
What's keeping
her anyway?
She's with my wife.
Charles?
I want you to know
how grateful I am.
It's... our
pleasure, ma'am.
Not only for helping me,
but for all the others, too.
You gave us back our lives.
We-we can go home now,
and face our own world.
I shall never forget
what you've done.
Head 'em up!
Move 'em out!
?Rollin', rollin', rollin',
rollin', rollin', rollin'?
Keep rollin',
rollin', rollin'?
Though the streams
are swollen?
Keep them dogies rollin'?
Rawhide?
Through 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?
Move 'em on, head 'em up,
head 'em up, move 'em on?
Move 'em on,
head 'em up, rawhide?
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in,
ride 'em in, let 'em out?
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in?
Rawhide...?
?Rollin', rollin', rollin'?
?Rollin', rollin', rollin'...?
Hyah!
Hyah!
?Rollin', rollin', rollin',
rollin', rollin', rollin'?
Hyah!
?Rollin', rollin', rollin'...?
?Rollin', rollin', rollin'?
Hyah!
?Rollin', rollin', rollin'?
Keep movin', movin', movin'?
Though they're disapprovin'?
Keep them dogies movin'?
Rawhide?
Don't try to understand 'em?
Just rope 'em, throw,
and brand 'em?
Soon we'll be livin'
high and wide?
My heart's calculatin'?
My true love will be waitin'?
Be waitin'
at the end of my ride?
Move 'em on, head 'em up,
head 'em up, move 'em on?
Move 'em on, head 'em up,
rawhide?
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in?
Ride 'em in, let 'em out,
cut 'em out, ride 'em in?
Rawhide...?
?Rollin', rollin', rollin'?
?Rollin', rollin', rollin'...?
Hyah!
Hyah!
Rawhide...!?
Hyah!
Pretty hard to beat it
when it sets in solid-
boredom.
You can feel it close in
like heat around your riders,
watch it dull them to the point
where the drive
gets to be something
they'd just as soon forget.
But they can't afford
to forget it.
I can't afford to let them.
My name's Gil Favor,
trail boss.
You talk to Mushy
this afternoon?
No, why?
Oh, he claims
he saw it again-
the wild man
up in the hill.
That makes it
about four times
in the last two days.
Look.
Quince and Scarlet-
they ought to know better.
Aw, leave 'em go, Pete.
Up there!
There he goes again!
Aw, he just ducks
away every time.
Grown men chasing something
that ain't there,
taking a chance
on busting up
good horses' legs.
Aw, let 'em be.
They could use
a little excitement.
Be turning dark in
a couple of hours.
You find a good
spot to bed down?
About three
or four miles ahead.
You want to take
a look?
All right.
All right, clear out of here!
Now, you're all gonna have
to stay out of my way,
or you're gonna be
wearing this stew
instead of eating it.
Tell me, Wishbone,
did you see that wild man
the same time Mushy did?
'Course I seen it.
You think he's the only one
with eyes in his head?
Aw, come on, Wish,
you're too old
to be making up yarns like that.
I tell ya, I saw it.
Think ol' Wish is gonna have
to get himself some specs.
It ain't no yarn, Pete.
Me and Scarlet saw it
real plain,
and believe me,
it's human.
Ain't riding a horse, is it?
I didn't say that.
Well, then how could it
keep up with this herd
for two days on foot?
We bed down,
don't we?
Thing travels at night.
Next time you see it, it'll
probably be riding a broomstick.
Hold him! Hold him!
He's getting away!
Somebody come over
here and help us!
Is that your
wild man, Quince?
That's him, all right,
and he looks real hurt to me.
He's hurt, all right.
What happened to you, mister?
Uh... uh...
they did it to me.
They did it to me.
They'll get to you.
WhoWhat are you talking about?
They're gonna...
come at you hard.
A whole lot of them.
Better get him
into the supply wagon.
What do you make of it?
Who's gonna come
at us hard?
He's out of his mind,
that's what I make of it.
Maybe he's out of
his mind, maybe not.
What do you mean?
I'm not quite sure what
I mean just yet, but...
there's just
something about him.
He finally let
us catch him,
talked just enough to
make it interesting,
and he didn't say who was
after us- just "they."
He sure is battered.
That he is.
Well, a bad fall on the rocks
could do something like that.
Something we can't
afford to guess
about, though.
We'll do some scouting
first thing in the morning.
All right, spread out,
take a good look around,
and then come back.
If you run into any trouble,
don't try to handle it alone.
You come on in for help.
Move out.
That man feeling any better
this morning?
Well, he's still
asleep or unconscious.
I don't know which,
after what you said.
Well, I'll make certain
that he stays in the wagon.
Let's get the beef
on the move.
Right.
Are you alone?
Well, it's, uh...
well, it's not good for a girl
to be alone out here.
You sure you're all right?
You... you don't have
to be afraid of me.
I am not afraid.
W... Would you mind
saying that again?
Why?
Well, the...
way you talked, it...
it sounds to me like
you don't belong out here.
I do not belong anywhere.
Well, it's hard to tell
how you got this far out.
I walked.
You walked?
Oh, that, uh, that
doesn't make any sense.
That-that doesn't make
any sense at all, now.
It's been a long time
since I found anything
that makes sense...
as you say.
Well, who... who are you?
What's your name?
My name?
Yeah.
You wouldn't understand.
Give me a try.
You would not.
You wish to know my name?
Yeah.
All right.
I am Luisa Maria
de la Fuentes,
Contessa de Torres.
You see?
You don't understand.
Well... no, but, uh,
I sure like the sound of it.
It doesn't matter.
In this country,
nothing matters.
In this country,
a woman is less
than a dog.
And much less
than a horse.
A... pretty girl like you
saying stuff like that...
Hey, wait a minute.
I want to talk to you.
Who are these people?
I'm with them.
They your folks?
No.
Wh-What's he gonna do with that?
It will be cooked.
A lizard?
When there is nothing else.
Boy, I've seen people hungry,
but never nothing like this.
You want to wait here
till I get back?
Get back?
Well, I'm with a herd
not far from here.
I can get you people
some decent food.
Oh, by the way, uh,
we found a man near
our camp last night,
been beaten pretty bad.
You know anything
about it?
No.
Well, you'll-you'll
wait here, now, huh?
Remember that.
Yeah.
Hey, Wishbone, hold up!
Pull up, Wishbone!
Pull up!
Ho!
Hold it. I
need something.
You need something?
See anything
out there?
Boys, you're never
gonna believe this.
There's three starving
women out there.
Three what?
He said,
three starving women.
Rowdy...
I don't know how they got there
or what they're doing there.
They're alone?
All by themselves.
They didn't say why, huh?
No. Most likely,
their wagon broke down.
I figure they're gypsies or
some religious group moving on.
Boy, they're in a bad way.
I come to get some food
from Wishbone.
Now, just a minute,
I'm real low on supplies.
You know that, Mr. Favor.
But you couldn't find out
exactly who they were, huh?
Well, they're gypsies, but, boy,
they're hungry, I'll tell you.
Well, the map said
we'll be passing
the Morris trading post
before noon.
You let them have
the food, Wish.
Well, I hope your map says
that Morris will have
what we need.
All right, Mushy, get 'em
some bacon and beans
and a couple of loaves
of bread.
You sure
they were alone?
Well, no,
wait a minute.
There was...
there was a kid
with them.
Caught a lizard
and they were going to eat it.
Well, they're
in a bad way, boss.
Oh, also they don't know
anything about that man we found
the other night.
You take them the food,
and if they're stranded,
you bring 'em on back.
But remember,
we're moving cattle,
not picking up strays.
And stay out of trouble.
All right.
These women know
how to cook?
Who knows how to cook
a lizard, huh?
Lizard.
A lizard?
Ugh.
Come on!
You think he'll find us?
He always does.
I don't mean Jonas.
I mean that young drover.
Oh, no, I don't think
he will come back.
You were waiting
for him.
I wasn't waiting
for anything.
I was simply sitting here.
If I hadn't been here,
I would have been somewhere else
equally unimportant.
Well, it's a good thing
Jonas didn't find us
while he was here.
You know, there was a time
and a place
where Jonas would have hanged
by his thumbs
just for looking at me.
I sure would like
to have seen that.
Maybe that young drover
will come back.
No. He meant well,
but we won't see him again.
You sure you're not
saying one thing
and hoping for another?
He said he was
going to bring food.
I'm trying to forget
what he said.
I-I like him.
And I won't let myself
to be disappointed.
Look yonder.
Jonas?
Your young drover.
This is the best I could do.
Thank you.
Thank you.
There's more stuff
in there if you want.
You came back.
Oh, uh, I brought you this.
I thought
you might need it.
For me?
Yeah, it's an extra one I had.
I don't need it.
It might be nice
for your hair.
For my hair?
Do you like it?
Sure like the way you talk.
Let me give you something
in return.
You see, you may
use it when you shave.
I couldn't take anything
like this from you.
Of course, you can.
The others don't know
I have it.
Yeah, but this is made
out of silver.
No, I couldn't take it.
I couldn't take that.
Well, as you say.
Did you say there's
other things there
as well as the bread?
Oh, yeah, there's some
beans and bacon.
I'll get you something
you don't have to cook.
What is that?
Our cook calls this
johnnycake.
Johnnycake.
Yeah.
Hmm.
Do you like it?
It's very good.
As good as anything
at Maximilian's table.
WhoMaximilian?
You know of Maximilian
and Carlota?
Oh...
The king and queen
of Mexico.
More than that.
He was the emperor,
and she was the empress.
Had it pretty soft, huh?
Oh, no.
He was killed
by firing squad.
Last I saw her,
she was in chains.
Did you work with these people
or something?
I was a lady-in-waiting
to Her Majesty.
A lady-in-waiting?
You don't believe me?
How did you get out here?
When we were overrun
by the rebels,
some of us were
brought north
so that we could go
to California.
But our party
was attacked
by Comanches.
Comanches, huh?
How did you get away
from them?
Well, now,
what do we got here?
He's all right.
He makes no trouble.
You know these men?
Yes. They're with us.
We're with you?
That's a new way
of putting it,
but I like it that way.
Didn't you tell him
about us?
He's been kind, Jonas.
He brought food.
Now why would
he want to go
and do a thing
like that?
Just trying to help out
a little, that's all.
Isn't often you find a girl
out on the prairie alone.
She didn't try and talk you
into helping her, did she?
She didn't try
and talk me into nothing.
She's a talker, this one.
You listen, she'll tell you
she's even a real fancy lady.
A countess.
Where you from, mister?
I'm with a cattle drive
moving north...
not far from here.
Is that where this
food came from?
What difference
does it make?
Does it look
like we're starving?
The three of you
look all right,
but the rest of these people
look kind of poor to me.
Now, you can't say that
about the countess,
now, can you?
What's she doing
with you anyway?
She belongs to me.
I got her from some
Tonkawas.
I swapped
a mule for her.
It was not some Tonkawa.
Don't try that again.
Not in front of me.
What would you do?
You try it and find out.
No need.
Not now.
You can see it don't make
no difference to her.
I didn't know
you were back.
I wasn't doing
no hollering
about it.
Something wrong?
Those women,
they had three
men with them.
They came up
when I was there.
They give you
any trouble?
I don't think those
people could give
anybody any trouble.
Three men-
you sure that was all?
There might be more.
Why don't I take some
of our people and ride back?
Rowdy...
we got 3,000 reasons
why you don't.
Now, we're going to lose
some of them
if you don't give us
a little help
in kicking them along.
If your friends need help,
they can catch up.
Look, Mr. Favor...
You'd better come
along with me,
on second thought.
Where?
We're turning out
the chuck wagon,
going into Morris
for supplies.
I'd still like to go back
after those drifters.
I'm sure you would.
You'll get into less trouble
with me, though.
Wishbone, cut out
and follow me!
Mister, I want
to talk to you.
Hold up, Johnny!
What do you want?
I want to tell you
you're riding into trouble-
Comancheros.
Comancheros?
You're riding into 'em.
They're waiting for you.
What's Comancheros, Pete?
Anybody in this part of Texas
can tell you
there's nothing crawls
the Earth
lower than a Comanchero.
They're a dirty, murdering
bunch of renegade whites
that trade with the Comanches.
But they don't only trade
for gold and silver.
They buy captive women
and children,
turn 'em into slaves
and sell 'em below the border.
Comancheros are about
the only things on two legs
that a man doesn't get hanged
for killing.
What do you know about
Comancheros, mister?
You one of them?
Not me.
I rode into 'em...
or they rode into me.
Me and my son was moving
my wagon across the plain.
A man's got to go somewhere
when his wife takes up
with fever
out of nowhere and dies.
Makes a man kind of aimless.
You got my sympathy.
What about the Comancheros?
You know about 'em.
Maybe you men hadn't met up
with 'em yet, huh?
They raise up all around you
from nowhere.
You don't fight 'em,
you don't argue with 'em.
You either join 'em
or you don't.
I joined 'em.
Yeah, I been with 'em.
I'll admit I've been
with 'em quite a while.
I been with 'em long enough
to know when
they're going to hit.
They're going to hit you.
Wait a minute.
How come you got the word?
If you know about it,
you must be in on it.
Look at my face, mister.
Look at that.
I look like a man they let go?
I don't care what you look like.
Comancheros wouldn't think
nothing about marking up
one of their own kind,
sending him in as a decoy.
You made a mighty big
statement, mister.
You better back it up.
With proof.
I got no proof.
I was hurt and starving
when you men picked me up.
You didn't try
to kill me.
You helped me
the best you could.
I'm trying to help you now.
You can believe me
or not.
I just hate to think
what's going to happen
if you don't believe me.
You say the Comancheros
are going to hit us.
You know when or where?
There's a pass
about ten miles ahead.
I don't much care now
if you know or not.
I told you.
It's up to you
to do what you want now.
I can't stand
this pain much longer.
It's coming over me.
I warned you.
Do what you think best.
Scarlet, ride up to the point
and tell 'em to stop the herd.
All right.
Hey, Rowdy?
Yeah?
You know, I was
kind of counting
on buying a couple
of jars of tobacco,
and you know what?
No, what?
By some strange
coincidence,
You left your money
back at camp.
I just happened
to leave
my money back
at camp, yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Well, I... I only need a dollar,
and you wouldn't be
giving it to me.
You'd only be putting
it on account-
on account of the poker-losing
you owe me.
Well... all right, being
as you're putting it that way.
That's the way
I put it.
Well, where'd you get a thing
like that?
I guess that girl
gave it to me.
Well, if this ain't
the daintiest.
Whatcha keeping
it hid for?
Afraid somebody's
gonna catch you
checking your
beautiful curls?
Now, look here,
Wishbone...
That's real pretty,
Mr. Rowdy.
Silver frame-
boy, I didn't know
you had anything like that.
Where's the powder puff
that goes with it?
Tell me something, Wishbone.
You want that dollar I owe you?
Well, you're mighty
well told I do.
Well, you can just whistle
up your elbow for it.
Why, I don't think very much
of a fella
that can't take
a little friendly joking.
Sure never figured we had
a trail herd this close.
Didn't see your dust.
For once, the stretch
wasn't dry enough to raise dust.
Well, well, well.
How from this town
are you?
About five miles west.
Well, I guess
you got money,
so I can let you
have all the flour
and beans you want,
but... no bacon.
Ain't had any bacon
since last fall.
Anything else
you can think of?
Axle grease, but
I don't see none.
Got a lot of lard.
I know, mister,
but lard ain't the same
as axle grease.
That's not what
you told me
when you fried that
last batch of spuds.
You shut up.
I'll look around for a bit.
Hey, Rowdy, let me look
at the mirror a minute.
What for?
Oh, you know...
Uh...
I think it's better
that you don't see
what we see, Wish.
Oh, come on.
I ain't gonna eat it.
Let me use the mirror.
All right.
Did you ever see anything
like that?
I never did.
Hey, mister, how much
for the trick hat?
That's genuine beaver.
I'd say... eight dollars.
Eight dollars?
That mirror...
looks like it's got
a real silver frame.
If it has,
I'll make you an even...
trade.
Hey, wait a second.
That ain't his.
Oh, go on, Rowdy.
It's a good way
to get rid of it.
That way the men
won't jibe you,
and I'll be owing you
instead of you me.
Give it back to me.
This belong to you?
That's right.
Where'd you get it?
Why?
Better tell me.
A girl gave it to me,
a girl I met
out on the prairie.
You think
that story's gonna wash?
What's this all about, mister?
There's engraving on this.
Says "Laura L. Benton."
Well, what about it?
The Bentons were slaughtered
by the Comanches.
Ranch looted and burned out.
Only two kinds
of people
that have that
looking glass now:
Comanches or...
Comancheros.
You don't look like a Comanche.
What are you saying, mister?
You've got this,
ain't you?
I had my own place
burned out once.
My wife and...
ten-year-old daughter with it.
You know how that feels, too,
don't you, Charlie?
Wait a second.
Don't start crowding me.
I don't think
it's gonna be too smart
for anybody to start
crowding anybody.
Oh, you don't, huh?
Anybody want any of this?!
All right, that'll
be about all.
You tote up our tab.
You don't get no supplies
from me, mister.
You gonna stick up for him
and his mirror,
his special mirror?
Mrs. Benton's mirror?
Get out of here, Rowdy.
You, too, Wishbone, Mushy.
You better turn him over,
mister,
or I'll spread the word
that you got one of his kind
working for you,
maybe more.
Now just stand easy,
all of you.
Hyah! Hyah!
There's nobody following.
No use pushing the horses.
So we got away from 'em.
What good's it going
to do us?
You don't want
to fight those people.
Nothing wrong with them.
You hear what
they called me?
A Comanchero.
A lousy Comanchero!
Forget it.
You think
they're going to forget it?
You didn't get your supplies,
did you?
We'll eat more beef,
less biscuits.
Comanchero- a name like that
stays with you
the rest of your life,
no matter where you go.
It isn't going to do you no good
to go back there
and fight over it, though.
I got us into trouble
this time, boss.
Real trouble.
I said forget it.
There's no forgetting it.
Do you know what it's like
to be called a Comanchero?
Yeah, I know
all about it.
If we don't go back to them,
they'll be coming to us.
Not enough of 'em for that.
They'll get more.
They'll hit us before
we're a day's drive from here.
We'll face that
when and if it comes up.
Well, it's going to come.
It's going to be my fault.
I got to find that girl.
She's the only proof I have.
There's not much
chance of that.
So come on.
What's wrong?
I figured you'd be
three or four miles
ahead by now.
Looks like we got
trouble, boss.
Now what?
That fellow
we picked up.
He's feeling better
and thinking straight.
He says we're going
to be raided
by Comancheros.
Comancheros?
Claims they're the ones
that beat him up.
Sounds pretty convincing.
I think you ought
to talk to him.
So do I.
What's this about, mister?
I'm telling you the truth.
I'm willing to show you
where they are.
Why?
You've been decent to me.
That the only reason?
You can see
what they done to me.
How many of them
are there?
Well, I only saw
of few of them.
But they're meeting up
with a whole bunch of them
somewhere around here.
He claims they're going
to hit us about ten miles ahead.
Rowdy?
Where's Rowdy?
Rowdy!
I want all the men
except Wishbone, Mushy
Cunning, Belding
and Murphy.
They'll stay here
with you.
Rowdy's gone, Mr. Favor.
Gone where?
I seen him ride out
after we come in.
Now, why would he do that?
Because he's a pigheaded,
stubborn young idiot,
that's why.
He's riding into trouble...
maybe more than
he can handle.
There's no reason
why he can't have help,
Mr. Favor.
Me and some of the men
can ride in...
You and some
of the men?
We're hired to try
and deliver this herd,
not to try
and lose it.
Rowdy'll have
to go it alone.
Go right up ahead
to where those
Comancheros are.
We'll hit 'em
away from the herd.
Bane, you'll
ride with me.
Johnny, cut him out
a mount.
Yes, sir, Mr. Favor.
My men will come
from up here,
slice the herd in half,
send them back
the other way.
You know a cowhide
will bring ten dollars
apiece below the border.
There's over 2,000 hides
just for the taking
if you do like I say.
As you say, Jonas.
You take these men
and get started.
I'll pick up the rest.
All of you men,
you're all going
to go with Hess!
All right, mount up!
Here, take
the kid with you.
Get on the horse there!
Don't move.
Well, now,
look who's come calling.
What are you doing
here, cowman?
Come to see
the countess?
You're a real stubborn
man, ain't you?
Find you can't get a woman
by giving her presents,
so you figure you'll come here
and try and steal her, huh?
I see she didn't keep
the present very long.
You wouldn't have me waste
a pretty think like this
on her kind,
would you?
Maybe you figure
I ought to give it back to her.
I don't know what
she'd want to do with it
after it's been around
your filthy neck.
Tie him up.
I want him here
when I come back!
Get me a knife.
It's okay.
Ooh...
It hurts?
How'd I get in here?
I pulled you.
Another woman helped me.
You shouldn't try yet.
I'll be all right.
I'll... be all right...
If you will just
wait until tonight,
until you are stronger,
I'll help you get away.
Yeah.
I, uh... I'll tell you what.
I want you to go back
with me.
You should rest now.
No, I'm serious.
That's why I came back here,
was to get you.
To get me?
Look, you've got to come back
with me.
Come back where?
To the trading post,
the other side of our trail.
Why?
Well, that...
that looking glass you gave me-
that sort of started it all.
The mirror got you into trouble?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Oh, it wasn't your fault.
You couldn't have known
about it.
But if you come back with me,
everything will be all right.
But...
I can't leave here.
You've got to understand.
I need this bad.
You come with me, and I'll get
you back to your own people.
Go back home?
Yeah.
No, I-I couldn't go there.
You want to stay here
with these Comancheros?
I hate them.
But I can't go home,
now or ever.
Well, why not?
Look at me.
See what I have become...
what these animals
have made of me.
Well...
look, you've got to treat
this thing
like it's been
a-a bad dream.
Hmm.
You'll feel better when you get
back with your own people.
I-I know you will.
That's easy tosay.
I say it,
and I mean it.
I...
I'll go with you,
if you want.
Good.
Where'd those men go
that were out there?
They are going to
a kind of meeting.
What kind of meeting?
I don't know.
Something about cattle.
CattleWhat about cattle?
I don't know, they...
I heard a little talk.
These men are not
tolerant of women,
but they said something
about a flank.
Flank.
If you know
what this means...
Yeah, flank, that means
the center of a herd.
God, I must have
been hit hard.
I ain't been thinking.
They're... if they're
after a herd,
they're probably
afterourherd.
There is only one
way to leave here.
That is back where
the women are working.
But what happens
if they see us?
They say nothing.
You see, there is
not one woman here
who doesn't hate
the Comancheros.
Well, all right.
All right, we're here
to keep 'em busy
while Jonas cuts a slice
through the middle of the herd.
We'll keep 'em
busy, all right.
Now, stay covered
until they get close.
I said, "Stay covered."
I didn't mean
to bury yourself.
Move on out there.
Move!
That's my son!
Hold your fire!
Roy!
Down!
This was a trick
to drive you off.
They beat me.
They set me among youse
to lead you
into this ambush.
If I didn't,
they said they'd kill my son.
Well, they've killed him anyway.
The boy's still moving.
Where are the others?
The main bunch is
gonna hit your herd.
This is a trick,
I'm telling you.
They made me do this.
You two, take care of Bain
and his boys.
See they come back with us.
The rest of you,
gather in your horses.
We're heading back
for the herd.
Butt those saddles,
and start fanning.
Come on!
Help me, will you?
All right,
we've made it.
But we're not
out of trouble yet.
That herd's all spread out,
and we don't know where those
Comancheros are gonna hit.
So, bunch 'em up, and fast!
Mr. Favor!
They're
coming up fast.
They're gonna hit
the middle of the herd.
Pete, come on.
You get in
that wagon, Louise.
Get rid of the horses!
Ya!
Ya! Ha!
I want to smash them
on the first pass.
Hit men if you can,
horses if you have to.
But we've gotta shear 'em off
before they bite
into the cattle.
Rowdy, how many
there'll be?
A lot of them, boss.
There they are.
Ten dollars a hide
just for the taking.
Ya!
Ha!
Your men must have killed
two dozen of those Comancheros.
I'm sure glad you came back,
so we could tell you
how wrong we were.
And we're sorry,
son, real sorry.
I hope you can forget
what we said.
Oh, that's all right.
Long as everything is
straightened out now.
Oh, that mirror that the lady
give you, uh, it's yours.
You ought to have it.
No, that belongs to her.
I'm gonna make sure
she gets it back.
What's keeping
her anyway?
She's with my wife.
Charles?
I want you to know
how grateful I am.
It's... our
pleasure, ma'am.
Not only for helping me,
but for all the others, too.
You gave us back our lives.
We-we can go home now,
and face our own world.
I shall never forget
what you've done.
Head 'em up!
Move 'em out!
?Rollin', rollin', rollin',
rollin', rollin', rollin'?
Keep rollin',
rollin', rollin'?
Though the streams
are swollen?
Keep them dogies rollin'?
Rawhide?
Through 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?
Move 'em on, head 'em up,
head 'em up, move 'em on?
Move 'em on,
head 'em up, rawhide?
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in,
ride 'em in, let 'em out?
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in?
Rawhide...?
?Rollin', rollin', rollin'?
?Rollin', rollin', rollin'...?
Hyah!
Hyah!
?Rollin', rollin', rollin',
rollin', rollin', rollin'?
Hyah!
?Rollin', rollin', rollin'...?
