Cowgirl

Written by Christine Nelligan & Lisa Marie Glover.

Lyrics

Playing with the boys
Wanting to be a Cowgirl
I turned the sides up on a boy scout hat
It looked just like a Stetson
Hoppalong Cassidy
Rode around on Topper
I had a scarf around my neck
But I didn’t have a horse

We lived in Ireland
I raised six children
All of our drinking water
came out of the well
Behind our cottage
you could see the Killarney mountains
We lived three miles from the village
We walked everywhere

For seventeen years
I was with my concert party
The Good Companions
We danced and we told jokes
We entertained the old people
Clifford played piano
I made the costumes
For eleven years
