Cowboy's Sweetheart ~ A Three Chord Song

Cowboy’s Sweetheart 

G

I want to be a cowboy’s sweetheart

                A7

 I want to learn to rope and to ride

               D7

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

                                  G

Out west of the great divide

I want to hear the coyotes howling

                 A7

As the sun sets in the West

                      G

I want to be a cowboy’s sweetheart

               A7      D7        G

That’s the life I love the best

I want to ride old paint get him on a run

               A7

I want to feel the wind in my face

    D7

A thousand miles from all the city lights

                                   G

Going at a cowhand’s pace

I want to pillow my head near the sleeping heard

                           A7

While the moon shines down from above

              D7                                 G

I want to strum my guitar to a-yodel a dee  hee

       A7         D7     G

Oh, that's the life I love

This song was the signature song of Pasty Montana - born 

Ruby Rose Blevins in Beaudry, Arkansas (1908-1996).   

This song was released in 1935 and it made Pasty 

the first female country singer to have a million seller record.

 She worked with people like Gene Autry, Pat Burttram, 

Red Foley, the Girls of the Golden West, and George Gobel.  

I just thought you might enjoy a little history 

to go along with this old song.  

"Keep Strumming & Singing"

(or at least singing)
