-1  -2' -1  -2  -1  -2 -3   4
The sun is sink-ing in the west 

-3   -4 -3  -2  -3  -2 -1    -2
The cat-tle go down to the stream 

-1  -2   -1  -2   -1  -2 -3   -4
The red-wing set-tles in the nest 

-3    -4  -3 -3 -3  -2  -1  -2
It's time for a cow-boy to dream 




 -8  -7   6   -7  6   5   6
Purp-le light in the can-yon 

 -8  -7   6  -7  -7  -8 8
That is where I long to be 

 -8  -7   6    -7   6  5    6
With my three good com-pa-nions 

 -6  6  -7  -7  -7 -6 6   5  6
Just my rif-le, my po-ny and me 


Gonna hang my sombrero 
On the limb of a tree 
Coming home sweet my 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 ropin' 
No 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
