My Rifle My Pony and Me Lyrics & Chords

This is my rendition of the famous Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson’s version (from the movie Rio Bravo) of an old canyon favorite today, My Rifle My Pony and Me. Enjoy the first attempt. Recorded June 2007 just before my visit to the Himalayas!

Words:

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

Purple light in the canyon
that is 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 sweet my darling
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 ropin’
No more strays will I see
’round the bend shell be waitin
For my rifle pony and me
For my rifle my pony and me.
