My Rifle, My Pony and Me - John Wayne

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 With my three good companions

Just my rifle, pony and me Gonna hang my sombrero

On the limb of a tree

Coming home, sweetheart darlin'

Just my rifle, pony and me Whippoorwill in the willow

Sings a sweet melody

Riding to Amarillo

Just my rifle, pony and me No more cows to be roping

No more strays will I see

Round the bend, she’ll be waiting

For my rifle, pony and me For my rifle, my pony and me
