Yodeling in YESHA

From Steve Plaut:

One of the best Country-Western songs that is still (or once again) popular these days is the version by Susie Bogguss of "I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart."  You should take a listen to it here .
 

It is actually a remake of an old song from 1935 by a cowgirl singer named Patsy Montana.
 

Well, I thought I would compose my own 2013 version of the tune, which really is not complete without the yodeling.   So here it is.  You might want to include it in the last segment of your Passover Seder:


I Want to Be a Settler's Sweetheart

I want to be a settler's sweetheart
I want to learn to shoot and to ride
I want to ride o'er the hills and the deserts
Out east of that old Green Line
I want to hear the leftists howlin'
While the sun sinks in the West
I want to be a settler's sweetheart
That's the life I love the best

(Yodeling Interlude)

I want to ride my Jeep goin' at a run
I want to feel the wind in my face
Far off from them Tel Aviv lights
Lots of Samarian space
I want to slap an anarchist's puss
Flipping em birds from Ariel above
I want to shoot my M16,  Od'da'le ee hee
Oh that's the life that I love

(Yodeling Interlude)

I want to be a settler's sweetheart
I want to learn to shoot and to ride
I want to ride o'er the hills and the deserts
Out east of that old Green Line
I want to hear the leftists howlin'
While the sun sinks in the West
I want to be a settler's sweetheart
That's the life I love the best

(Yodeling Interlude)
