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> <Table> External audio <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> "I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart", performed by Patsy Montana, Encyclopedia of Arkansas </Td> </Tr> </Table>
