I wish that I could be a cowboy
On a ranch on the range
I know I’d make a mighty fine cowboy
Though there might be some danger
I wish that I could be a cowboy
Shoot a gun and ride a horse
Oh i would be a mighty fine cowboy, of course

I wish that I could be a jockey
With a draw in the big race
I know I’d make a champion jockey
I’d be sure to win first place
I wish that I could be a jockey
Swing that crop and ride a horse
Well I would be a champion jockey, of course

I wish that I could be a soldier
In the war for a piece
I know I’d be a might great soldier
If they put m? in the cavalry
I wish that I could be a soldier
See th? world and ride a horse
Well I would be a mighty great soldier, of course

I wish that I could be a lover
Through the day, through the night
I know I’d make a mighty fine lover
I’d make love with all my might
I wish that i could be a lover
Make some love and ride a horse
Well I’d make a mighty fine lover, of course

Well I would be a mighty fine lover
Well I would be a mighty great soldier
Well I would be a champion jockey
Well I would be a mighty fine cowboy
Shoot a gun and ride a horse
Well I would be a mighty fine person, of course
