Don Williams – My Rifle, My Pony And Me Lyrics

My Rifle, My Pony And Me
Don Williams
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
That's where I long to be
With my three good companions
Just my rifle, my pony, and me

Whiporwill in the willow
Sings a sweet melody
Riding to Amarillo
Just 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
