I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart

I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart - Rosalie Allen/Elton Britt/The Three Suns

I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart

I want to learn to rope and to ride

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

Out west of the great divide

I want hear the coyotes howlin'

While the sun sinks in the west

I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart

That's the life that I love best

I want to ride old paint going at a run

I want to feel the wind in my face

A thousand miles from these city lights

Goin' at a cowhand's pace

I want to cradle my head near the sleeping herd

While the moon shines down from above

I want to strum my guitar and yodelae

Oh that's the life that I love

Yodelae

I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart

I want to learn to rope and to ride

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

Out west of the great divide

I want hear the coyotes howlin'

While the sun sinks in the west

I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart

That's the life that I love best
