My Rifle, My Pony and Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The sun is sinking in the west
The cattle go down to the stream
The redwing settles in the nest
It's time for a cowboy to dream
Purple light in the canyons
That's where I long to be
With my three good companions
Just 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)
Comin´ home (comin´ home) sweetheart darlin´ (sweetheart darlin´)
Just my rifle, pony and me
Just my rifle, my pony and me
(Whippoorwill in the willow
Sings a sweet melody
Riding to Amarillo)
Just my rifle, pony and me
No more cows (no more cows) to be ropened (to be ropened)
No more strays will I see
Round the bend (round the bend) she'll be waitin´ (she'll be waitin´)
For my rifle, pony and me
For my rifle, my pony and me
