I Wanna Be A Cowgirl

I used to wanna be a cowgirl A hat plopped atop my head Wearing the dresses with fringes A gun on a stand by my bed A rough and tumble woman I thought I’d like to be Not the shy little girl I was It was a different kind of me And I’ll bet many little girls Back quite a few years ago Envied Annie Oakley Sitting on a horse just so There used to be cowgirls Even earlier before TV Radio shows were popular Now that really ages me Dale Evans was so lovely She was a lady that’s for sure Riding side by side with Roy She seemed so sweet and pure I would have traded places And given the old west a whirl Oh yes, back in the day I wanted to be a pretty cowgirl!
