Don Williams – My Rifle, My Pony and Me.(Primetunez Lyrics):
The sun is sinking in the west
The cattle go down to the stream
The redwing settle in their nest
Its time for a cowboy to sing.
Purple light in the canyon
That’s where I long to be
With my three good companions
Jus’ my rifle, my pony and me.
Whiporwill in the willow
Sings a sweet melody
Ridin’ to Amarillo
Jus’ my rifle, my pony and me.
[Instrumental]
No more cows to be ropin’
Nor more strays will I see
‘Round the bend she’ll be waitin’
For my rifle, my pony and me.
For my rifle, my pony and me…
