"My Rifle, My Pony & Me" lyrics
(originally by Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson)
(from "Tulsa King: Seasons 1-2" soundtrack)
The sun is sinking in the west
The cattle go down to the stream
The redwing settles in its nest
It's time for the cowboy to dream
Purple light in the canyons
That is where I long to be
With my three good companions
Just my rifle, my pony and me
Gonna hang my sombrero
On the limb of a tree
Coming home sweetheart darling
Just my rifle, my pony and me
Whippoorwill in the willow
Sings a sweet melody
Riding to Amarillo
Just my rifle, my pony and me
No more cows to be roping
No more strays I will see
'Round the bend
She'll be waiting
For my rifle, my pony and me
For my rifle, my pony and me
The cattle go down to the stream
The redwing settles in its nest
It's time for the cowboy to dream
Purple light in the canyons
That is where I long to be
With my three good companions
Just my rifle, my pony and me
Gonna hang my sombrero
On the limb of a tree
Coming home sweetheart darling
Just my rifle, my pony and me
Whippoorwill in the willow
Sings a sweet melody
Riding to Amarillo
Just my rifle, my pony and me
No more cows to be roping
No more strays I will see
'Round the bend
She'll be waiting
For my rifle, my pony and me
For my rifle, my pony and me
