<P> `` I Want to Be a Cowboy 's Sweetheart '' is a country and Western song written and first recorded in 1935 by Ruby Blevins , who performed as Patsy Montana . It was the first country song by a female artist to sell more than one million copies . Montana wrote the song in 1934 when she was feeling lonely and missing her boyfriend ; it was recorded a year later when producer Art Satherly , of ARC Records , needed one more song at a Prairie Ramblers recording session . Montana was the group 's soloist at the time . Her song is based on Stuart Hamblen 's western song Texas Plains : he is therefore credited as a cowriter . Patsy Montana embellished the simpler musical pattern of the original , especially with her yodeling . Patsy also used a lot of the original words : the song is somewhat of a feminine answer to its precursor . </P>
