Don Williams — My Rifle, My Pony and Me (From Rio Bravo) lyrics

Lyrics

My Rifle, My Pony And Me Don Williams
Dimitri Tiomkin / Paul Francis Webster
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
