If I'm not mistaken I heard she had the 1st million seller by a female at the time

[thomasd5414]

That's correct.

This version was recorded by Patsy several years after her original classic. She was backed up by The Light Crust Doughboys on this version. On the original, she was backed by The Prairie Ramblers, who backed her up on most of her original hits. This version's lyrics update Patsy's story from a girl wanting to be a cowboy's sweetheart to a girl who has found her true love and "settled down on a ranch of her own" with children. Hope this helps.

@prchr62 by saying it's a song to gays AINT an insult.dont be so homophobic gtfo

[rockgor]

I read Patsy's bio several years ago. (Real name Ruby Blevins.) Her great

wish was to be a member of the C-W Hall of Fame. She became one,

but it was only after she died.

She was a pioneer. Should have been one of the first members.

Anyhoo I heard her a few decades back on a radio interview. She

demonstrated the difference between a Swiss yodel and a

cowboy yodel.

She made a 3rd version of her great hit. Title was something like " I

want to be a cowboy grandpa's sweetheart."

[musicmanbgt]

This is grate, but I have a request of Thomas 5414 would you have a copy of Bonny Owens doing this song? it was my favorite song she ever did. She would do it every time I seen her, or worked with her. If not keep up the good works and thanks

[prchr62]

This is not a sng for gays. Don't insult Ms. Montana. Don't you wish they still sang like this. You can undestand every word, it's got exact rythym (sic) and tone. Great!
