Lyrics Ricky Nelson – My Rifle, My Pony And Me
Text:
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, my pony and me
Gonna hang my sombrero
On the limb of a tree
Coming home sweet my darling
Just my rifle, my pony and me
Whippoorwill in the willow
Sings a sweet melody
Riding to Amarillo
Just my rifle, my pony and me
No more cows to be ropin’
No more strays will I see
’round the bend shell be waitin
For my rifle, my pony and me
For my rifle, my pony and me
