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 canyon
That is where I long to be
With my three good companions
Just my rifle, pony and me.
Gonna hang my sombrero
On the limb of a tree
Coming home sweet, my darling
Just my rifle, pony and me.
Whippoorwill in the willow
Sings a sweet melody
Riding to Amarillo
Just my rifle pony and me.
No more cows to be ropin'
No more strays will I see
'Round the bend she'll be waitin'
For my rifle, pony and me.
For my rifle my pony and me..
