My Rifle, My Pony & 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.
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..
