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 want to be a cowboy's sweetheart
The the life I love the best

(Yodeling)

I want to ride Old Paint, goin' at [bad word] 
I want to feel the wind in my face
thousand miles from all the city lights
Go at cowhand's pace
I want to pillow my head near the sleeping herd
While the moon shines down from above
I want to [bad word] my guitar and odo-lay-eee-hee
Oh, that's the life that I love

(Yodeling)

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 want to be a cowboy's sweetheart
The the life I love the best
