My Rifle, My Pony And Me

Dimitri Tiomkin / Paul Francis Webster
Album: Borrowed Tales

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
Thatââ?¬â?¢s where I long to be
With my three good companions
Jusââ?¬â?¢ my rifle, my pony and me

Whiporwill in the willow
Sings a sweet melody
Ridinââ?¬â?¢ to Amarillo
Jusââ?¬â?¢ my rifle, my pony and me

No more cows to be ropinââ?¬â?¢
Nor more strays will I see
ââ?¬Ë?Round the bend sheââ?¬â?¢ll be waitinââ?¬â?¢
For my rifle, my pony and me
For my rifle, my pony and me
