My Rifle, My Pony and Me

Several people have asked me for a lullaby
or a song to go to sleep to.
I'm just thrilled that they don't feel
that ALL of my songs put them to sleep!
So this is for my insomniac friends,
and most especially for Cristal.
Just close your eyes
and drift out over the badlands...

My Rifle, My Pony And Me
Ricky Nelson
From the movie Rio Bravo.

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 she'll be waitin 

For my rifle pony and me
