My Rifle, My Pony and Me lyrics

The sun is sinking in the west The cattle go down to the stream The redwing settle in their nest Its time for a cowboy to sing Purple light in the canyon That's where I long to be With my three good companions Jus' my rifle, my pony and me Whiporwill in the willow Sings a sweet melody Ridin' to Amarillo Jus' my rifle, my pony and me No more cows to be ropin' Nor more strays will I see 'Round the bend she'll be waitin' For my rifle, my pony and me For my rifle, my pony and me
