The sun is sinkin' in the west
The cattle go down to the stream
The redwing settles in her nest
It's time for a cowboy to dream

Purple light in the canyon
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
Comin' home sweetheart darlin'
Just my rifle, pony and me

(Whippoorwill in the willow
Sings a sweet melody)
Ridin' to (Ridin' to) Amarillo (Amarillo)
Just my rifle, pony, and me
No more cows (no more cows) to be ropin' (to be ropin')
No more strays will I see
Round the bend (round the bend) she'll be waitin' (she'll be waitin')
For my rifle, pony, and me
For my rifle, my pony, and me
