My rifle, my pony and me
 (Dean Martin & Ricky Nelson in the movie 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.
         C/             F/                Am     C/       F/    
With my three good companions,   Just my rifle, pony and me.

          C/              F/              C/        F/      
Gonna hang    my sombrero,      On the limb of a tree.
        C/                F/              Am      C/      F/  
Coming home, sweetheart darling,  Just my rifle, pony and me.

              C/          F/               C/    F/         
Whippoorwill in the willow,  Sings a sweet melody.
           C/        F/             Am      C/    F/          
Riding to Amarillo,    Just my rifle, pony and me.

            C/          F/             C/          F/       
No more cows to be roping,   No more strays will I see.
          C/              F/                Am     C/       F/
Round the bend, she'll be waiting,   For my rifle, pony and me.
C/               F/        C/
For my rifle, my pony and me.
