Neil let slip this song’s origins at a London concert at the Royal Festival Hall on February 27, 1971:
This is a song I wrote about the beaches in Spain. I’ve never been to the beaches in Spain. It’s just my idea of what it’s like over there.
[Verse 1]
Hello, cowgirl in the sand (Hello, cowgirl in the sand)
Is this place at your command?
Can I stay here for a while?
Can I see your sweet, sweet smile?
[Chorus]
Old enough now to change your name
When so many love you, is it the same?
It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Hello, ruby in the dust (Hello, ruby in the dust)
Has your band begun to rust?
After all the sin we've had
I was hoping that we'd turn bad
[Chorus]
Old enough now to change your name
When so many love you, is it the same?
It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Hello, woman of my dreams (Hello, woman of my dreams)
Is this not the way it seems?
Purple words on a grey background
To be a woman and to be turned down
[Chorus]
Old enough now to change your name
When so many love you, is it the same?
It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Hello, cowgirl in the sand (Hello, cowgirl in the sand)
Hello, cowgirl in the sand (Hello, cowgirl in the sand)
Hello, cowgirl in the sand (Hello, cowgirl in the sand)
