My Rifle My Pony and Me ( Rio Bravo -1959)
Dean Martin & Ricky Nelson
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 my sombrero On the limb of a tree Comin' home sweetheart darlin' Just my rifle, pony and me Just my rifle, my pony and me
(Whippoorwill in the willow Sings a sweet melody Riding to Amarillo) Just my rifle, pony and me No more cows (no more cows) to be ropened (to be ropened) No more strays will I see Round the bend (round the bend) she'll be waitin' (she'll be waitin') For my rifle, pony and me For my rifle, my pony and me.
