I Want to Be a Cowboy’s Sweetheart Patsy Montana (nee Rubye Blevins)

 

When Patsy recorded this song in the 30’s, she became the first female country singer ever to sell a million records. Patsy wrote us a letter and sent some of her country music “trading cards”. We framed them and hung them on the wall. BTW, check out Patsy’s real name -- Jacquie's maiden name is also Blevins! Hah! Cousins!

 

I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart

I want to learn to rope and ride

I want to ride o'er the plains and the deserts

Out west of the great divide

I want to hear the coyotes howlin'

While the sun sets in the West

I wan to be a cowboy's sweetheart

The life I love the best

 

I want to ride Old Paint, goin' on a run

I want to feel the wind in my face

A thousand miles from all those city lights

I wanna go at cowhand's pace

I want to pillow my head near a sleeping herd

While the moon shines down from above

I want to strum my guitar and yodel-ay-eee-hee

‘Cause that's the life I love!
