Can you tell me what these lyrics mean?

• ‘rope an ol blue norther’ — a blue norther is a cold front that comes from the north pole and swoops down across the country. — so he is saying you can try to rope the wind, which is impossible, like taking a true cowboy’s hat.

  ‘milk it til its dry’ — the norther can blow from the north pole until it is all snowed/rained out (a looooong time) and still not have the cowboy’s hat.

  ‘bull dawg the mississippi” — is a roping phrase that means to tie up the legs of a calf or cow — you cannot pin down the mississippi river, like you can’t take a cowboy’s hat.

  Chris Ledoux’s “This Cowboys Hat”

  “Rope an ole blue norther and milk it til it’s dry. Bull dawg the Mississippi. Pin it’s ears down flat. Long before you take this cowboys hat.”

• Blue Northern

• C C is wrong…

  In the case of this song. A blue norther is a cold front, but in this song he is talking about the legendary bull/cow. It is known to be the fastest, strongest, most agile. Therefore saying you’ll catch it and milk it before you take this Cowboys hat.

• Can’t rope the wind, and can stop the Mississippi. Bulldogging is a rodeo event where you literally wrestle a steer to the ground

• Have you ever milked a bull? I mean, you can try but you’re not gonna get what you wanted 😛
