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