My Rifle, my Pony and Me
The sun is sinking in the westThe cattle go down to the streamThe redwing settles in the nestIt's time for a cowboy to dream
Purple light in the canyonsThat's where I long to beWith my three good companionsJust my rifle, pony and me
Gonna hang (gonna hang) my sombrero (my sombrero)On the limb (on the limb) of a tree (of a tree)Coming home (coming home) sweetheart darling (sweetheart darling)Just my rifle, pony and meJust my rifle, my pony and me
(Whippoorwill in the willowSings a sweet melodyRiding to Amarillo)Just my rifle, pony and meNo more cows (no more cows) to be roping (to be roping)No more strays will I seeRound the bend (round the bend) she'll be waiting (she'll be waiting)For my rifle, pony and meFor my rifle, my pony and me
