Ricky Nelson - My Rifle, My Pony & Me lyrics

rate me

Rick Nelson & Dean Martin

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, pony and me.

Gonna hang my sombrero

On the limb of a tree

Coming home sweet, my darling

Just my rifle, pony and me.

Whippoorwill in the willow

Sings a sweet melody

Riding to Amarillo

Just my rifle pony and me.

No more cows to be ropin'

No more strays will I see

'Round the bend she'll be waitin'

For my rifle, pony and me.

For my rifle my pony and me...
