The rendition (on YouTube) I'd Like to be a Cowgirl (Cathy Fink, CD Grandma Slid Down the Mountain, 1984) is pretty close to what I remember, but its release date is later than when I heard the song.

I was unable to track down who wrote the lyrics. I do know it has been around a long time. This version (also on YouTube), I'd Love to be a Cowgirl was recorded by Patsy Montana in 1939.
