My Rifle, My Pony And Me

The sun is sinking in the west
The cattles go down to the stream
The red wing 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 my sombrero
On the limb of a tree
Coming home, sweetheart darling
Just my rifle, my pony and me
Just my rifle, my pony and me

Whipoor will in the willow
Sings a sweet melody
Riding to Amarello
Just my rifle, pony and me

No more cows to be roping
No more strays will I see
Round the bend, she'll be waiting
For my rifle, my pony and me
For my rifle, my pony and me
