Cowgirls know how to help a mare give birth.
They know how to ride the back-forty searching for strays.
Cowgirls barrel-race in rodeos and dance the Texas Two Step.
They sip coffee from a tin can by the campfire.
Cowgirls know the difference between a rifle and a pistol.
They know the difference between rancher’s brands.
Cowgirls can kick up their heels and have a little fun.
They rise before the sun and settle when works done.
Cowgirls ride herd on family when called upon.
They know how to cinch a horse’s girth and clean a horseshoe.
Cowgirls can ride hard but never put a horse away wet.
They know when to lend a rancher a helping hand.
Cowgirls don’t ride sidesaddle,
On this you can bet.
