My Rifle Pony And Me Lyrics

My Rifle Pony And Me

My Rifle Pony and Me 

 

 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 shell be waitin 

 For my rifle pony and me 

 For my rifle my pony and me
