Lyrics
The sun is sinking in the west
The cattle go down to the stream
The redwing settles in her nest
It's time for a cowboy to dream
Purple light in the canyon
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 darling
Just my rifle, pony and me
Whippoorwill in the willow
Sings a sweet melody
Riding to (Riding to) Amarillo (Amarillo)
Just my rifle, pony and me
No more cows (No more cows) to be roping (To be roping)
No more strays (No more strays) will I see
Round the bend (Round the bend) she'll be waiting (She'll be waiting)
For my rifle, pony and me
For my rifle, my pony and me
