Lyrics My Rifle, My Pony And Me (from Rio Bravo) - Dean Martin

My Rifle, My Pony And Me (from Rio Bravo)

The sun is sinking in the west
The cattle go down to the stream
The red wing settles in her 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 my sombrero
On the limb of a tree
Coming home, sweetheart darlin'
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 roping
No more strays will I see
Round the bend, she’ll be waiting
For my rifle, pony and me For my rifle, my pony and me
