ARLO GUTHRIE - RIDIN' DOWN THE CANYON lyrics

rate me

by Gene Autry and Smiley Burnett

When evening chores are over at the ranch house on the plains

And there's nothing left to do but lay around

I saddle up my pony and go riding down the trail

Just to watch the desert sun go down

CHORUS:

White faced cattle lowing, sagebrush everywhere

Granite spires are standing all around

I'll tell you folks it's heaven to go ridin' down the trail

Just to watch the desert sun go down

Ridin' down the canyon to watch the sun go down

A picture that no artist 'ere could paint

Cactus plants are bloomin' on the mountain side

I hear a coyote calling to its mate

CHORUS

CHORUS

When evening chores are over at the ranch house on the plains

And there's nothing left to do but lay around

I saddle up my pony and go riding down the trail

Just to watch the desert sun go down

CHORUS
