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 (spoken)


C                     F
Purple light in the canyons
            C          G7
That's where I long to be

C                    F
With my three good companions
     C          G7       C
Just my rifle, pony and me


C               F
Gonna hang my sombrero
        C          G7
On the limb of a tree

       C                  F
Comin' home, sweetheart darlin'
         C      G7       C
Just my rifle, pony and me


C                   F
Whippoorwill in the willow
        C         G7
Sings a sweet melody

C            F
Ridin' to Amarillo
         C      G7       C
Just my rifle, pony and me.


C                   F
No more cows to be ropin'
       C               G7
No more strays will I see

         C                F
Round the bend she'll be waitin'
        C      G7       C
For my rifle, pony and me
        C         G7       C
For my rifle, my pony and me.

Thanks! Have Fun!!
