My Rifle, My Pony And Me Songtext
von 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
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 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
