Originally released with the Prairie Ramblers in 1936, this song is classic Patsy Montana. Centering around the theme of independent female figures, Patsy ponders the day she’ll give up her wild ways and settle down.
Some gals, they like babies and houses and things
But give me the feel of a horse that has wings
I'll ride him straight up, like all cowboys do
I'm a straight ridin' lassie
A she buckaroo
There's a secret in life
For which I sure hold
I'm pinin' to ride that old strawberry roan
I'll make him hop out like an old kangaroo
I'm a tough ridin' lassie
A she buckaroo
If you make the rodeos
You'll find me right there
Ridin' and ropin'
And wind in my hair
All the prizes they give
Make the he-men feel blue
I'm a prize-winnin' lassie
A she buckaroo
Sure I'm stuck on myself
But what do I care
There's no none around me to give me the air
But I've never walked home from a trip to the zoo
I'm a man-hatin' lassie
A she buckaroo
Someday when I'm ready
I'll ride down the road
I'll rope me a cowpoke
That's never been throwed
I'll hogtie him tight
Til' he swears he'll be true
I'm a man-hatin' lassie
A she buckaroo
I'll throw away my chaps
And get dresses instead
I'll learn to make biscuits
And maybe cornbread
We'll live in a town
I think that'll do
And goodbye to Patsy
The she buckaroo
