Ricky Nelson - My Rifle, My Pony and Me lyrics

The sun is sinking 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 Coming 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 roping No more strays will I see Round the bend, she'll be waiting For my rifle, pony and me For my rifle, my pony and me
