An Original Cowboy Girl

Lulu Belle Parr was one of the earliest cowgirl stars and worked as a professional cowgirl saddle bronc rider for Buffalo Bill. She was a flamboyant entertainer and while riding a bronc with hobbled stirrups, Lulu would smile and wave her hat at the crowd.


She's a nifty little cowboy girl


as cute as can be found


And she's known by everybody


on the range for miles around



But she doesn't need a chaperon



to make the boys be nice



She has a big six shooter

which she knows will quite suffice.

Lulu is one of my favorite cowboy girls! She is such a fun lady to read about!

Yes! She was the original (along with Lucille Mulhall) and loved performing. It's good to see she is being remembered a century later.
Thanks for stopping by!
