A Cowgirl Spaghetti Western Tune about the Sundown of the Patriarchy.

Cowgirls, Time to Lasso Up!

lyrics

Sundown of the Macho Man
Sundown of the Macho Man

For so long in this godforsaken town
The cowboys were up and the cowgirl was down
The men made the rules and the women obeyed
And the sun was high and it was bright all day

(The sun was high and it was bright all day)

But the day waned, the sun wasn’t so bright
The cowgirls all said, “Something’s not right
These men grab us, rule us and treat us like dirt
And we could run this whole town without all this hurt.”

Sundown of the Macho Man
Sundown of the Macho Man

The sun hid behind the mountaintop
The cowboys got weak, they started to drop
The cowgirls said “It’s now that time of day
When the men can’t tell us what do or say.”

Then the King of the Machos rode into town before night
To turn back time and make things Right
With a blazing head of orange upon a gallant white steed
With an aura of black and a heart full of greed
The King of the Machos he wielded his sword
And pronounced that rules will again be restored
(Rules will again be restored)

He told the ladies, “Git on your knees or git out of town”
They started to kneel, but saw the sun going down.
The cowgirls rose and stood up tall
And pronounced the world of Machos was about to fall.

Some good guys stood by the ladies and said, “Y’all a’right!”
But the Macho Men, they started to fight
They whipped out their guns and aimed to shoot
But the cowgirls cocked their guns and said, “Ain’t y’all cute!”
The ladies announced, “The Good Guys can Stay-(I guess)
But to all those Macho Men-git away, git away, Git Away!

The King of All Machos-the biggest coward of All
Gathered his Men just before nightfall
Said, “Come on guys let’s git out of this place”
And they rode outta town at a moderate pace

Sundown of the Macho Man
Sundown of the Macho Man
