My Rifle, My Pony And Me Lyrics

My Rifle, My Pony And Me lyrics

The sun is sinkin' in the west

The cattle go down to the stream

The Red wing settles in her 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

Comin' home, sweetheart darlin'

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 ropened

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
