Subject: ADD: I'd Like to Be a Cowgirl
Well, there's "I'd Like to Be a Cowgirl, But Ooh I'm Scared of Cows." I posted the male version here (click). I think it was Rounder that had a recording Cathy Fink and others singing this.
Patsy Montana recorded it as "I'd Love to Be a Cowgirl (But I'm A-Scared of Cows)."

Here's a version:

I'D LIKE TO BE A COWGIRL
(Author Unknown)

One day I went out to a rodeo
I like to see the cowboys rope and ride
I got excited as I watched the show
I jumped right up and down and then I cried...

I'd like to be a cowgirl, but ooh I’m scared of cows
Moo moo moo how they scare me.
I often try to face them
While in a field they browse
Moo moo moo how they scare me. *yodel

I'd walk up to a lion and smack him on the brow
I'd even kick a pole cat but don’t ask me to punch a cow.
Chorus *yodel

I tried to milk a Holstein she acted like a fool
No matter how I coaxed her, she wouldn’t sit down on a stool.
Chorus *yodel

They say a cat has nine lives, but I know a cow
She kicked the bucket ten times, and she’s alive and kickin' now.
Chorus *yodel

A cow once tried to chase me across a field of corn
She bumped right into my guitar, and didn’t even sound the horn.
Chorus *yodel
