My Rifle, My Pony And Me
Dean Martin
The 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 canyons That's where I long to be With my three good companions Just my rifle, pony and me Gonna hang (gonna hang) my sombrero (my sombrero) On the limb (on the limb) of a tree (of a tree) Coming home (coming home) sweetheart darlin' (sweetheart darling) Just my rifle, pony and me Whip poorwill in the willow Sings a sweet melody Ridin to Amarillo Just my rifle, pony and me No more cows (no more cows) To be ropin' (to be roping) No more strays will I see Round the bend (round the bend) she'll be waitin' (she'll be waiting) For my rifle, pony and me For my rifle, my pony and me
