Lyrics

Ilabell learned how to ride
With Aunt J’net by her side
With her boots and spurs
She’s a cowgirl with curls
Saddles up her horse she named Blue
And she was a country cowgirl at two
She’s a little bit cautious but tough as nails
Grooms her horse in boots and a ponytail
When she hears The Ole Town Road song
She grabs her hat and sings along

She’s a country cowgirl
Her name is Ilabell
She’s got boots and class
And a whole lot of sass
OH, RIDE ILABELL RIDE
She rides with pride through the countryside
With Aunt J’net by her side
She clicks & kicks to make her horse trot
Pulls on the reins and says WHOA to make him stop

OH, RIDE ILABELL RIDE
GIDDY-UP OLE BLUE GIDDY UP GO
GIDDY-UP BEFORE THE SUN GETS LOW
OH, RIDE ILABELL RIDE

She and her friends like to sit in the hay
They giggle and play and
Listen to their horses whinny and neigh
She’ll whistle and here comes Ole Blue
He shows how much he loves her too
She then pets his beautiful coat
and shows him love by feeding him oats
Bridles and bits, blankets and reins
She also braids the horses’ manes
Does her chores in the early morning light
Then mamma says she can go for her ride

She’s a country cowgirl
Her name is Ilabell
She’s got boots and class
And a whole lotto sass
OH, RIDE ILABELL RIDE
She rides with pride through the countryside
With Aunt J’net by her side
She clicks & kicks to make her horse trot
Pulls on the reins and says WHOA to make him stop
OH, RIDE ILABELL RIDE
GIDDY-UP OLE BLUE GIDDY UP GO
GIDDY-UP BEFORE THE SUN GETS LOW
OH, RIDE ILABELL RIDE

A horse will change your life
All you got to do is go for a ride
Aunt J’net taught Ilabell well
She knows what to do
when they hear the cowbell
They are like two peas in a pod
They give each other the cowgirl nod
With her spurs and chaps
She and Ole Blue will do some laps
Then she helps round up the cows
before her daddy starts to plow

Even when she wears a dress
She’s still a cowgirl
Who don’t need to impress
Like little Cowboy Earl
Who at the barn dance
Asks if he can give her a twirl
She says yes and takes a chance
All because she loves to dance

She’s a blue-eyed beauty with brains
And her last name is Gaines
She’s sweet, kind, loving and smart
Her smile melts her Daddy’s heart
When times get tough, she’s no quitter
She’ll say my mamma raised me better

She’s only four now
but smart as a whip
Shake her hand
she’s got a good grip
But if you rub her the wrong way
HOLD YOUR HORSIES
that’s what she’ll say

She’s got that cowgirl attitude
and loves to tease
But she has a big heart
and loves to please
She may live on a farm
But she’s still got
that country cowgirl charm
This little cowgirl
makes no apologies
She says I’m Ilabell the Cowgirl
And I just got to be me

She’s a country cowgirl
Her name is Ilabell
She’s got boots and class
And a whole lotto sass
OH, RIDE ILABELL RIDE
She rides with pride through the countryside
With Aunt J’net by her side
She clicks & kicks to make her horse trot
Pulls on the reins and says WHOA to make him stop
OH, RIDE ILABELL RIDE
GIDDY-UP OLE BLUE GIDDY UP GO
GIDDY-UP BEFORE THE SUN GETS LOW
OH, RIDE ILABELL RIDE
