I was born in New York City
Uptown, downtown, made the scene
But I thought it was a pity
There’s more concrete than there’s green
Set my sights upon the country
Thought I’d give the West a whirl
Bought me a Stetson and a guitar
In a New York second, I’m a country girl!
Yeee-Haa!

CHORUS
Oh bury me (Oh bury me!) with my earrings on
And my high heel boots
And a Western song
So when I’m gone
You can tell the world
In a New York second, I’m a country girl!

Always longed to be a cowgirl
I rode horses in my dreams
But by day I rode the subway
Back and forth from Bayside, Queens
‘Til the day I packed my suitcase
Took my books and all my shoes
And when I saw those Rocky Mountains
I said good-bye to the rush hour blues.

CHORUS
Oh bury me (Oh bury me!) with my earrings on
And my high heel boots
And a Western song
So when I’m gone
You can tell the world
In a New York second, I’m a country girl!

BRIDGE:
I’m still looking for that cowboy
Who rounds up dinner with good wine
No, you can’t take the seed
Out of the Big Apple
And expect to grow a mountain pine.

CHORUS
Oh bury me with my earrings on
And my high heel boots
And a Western song
So when I’m gone
You can tell the world
In a New York second,
In a New York second,
In a New “Yawk” second
I’m a country girl!

Yeee-Haaa!
