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


[C]Purple light in the [F]canyons that's where I [C]long to [F]be
With my [C]three good [F]companions just my [C]rifle, pony and [F]me
Gonna [C]hang my [F]sombrero on the [C]limb of a [F]tree
Comin' [C]home sweetheart [F]darling just my [C]rifle, [F]pony and [C]me


[C]With the wind ⓦ in the [F]willow ⓦ sings a [C]sweet ⓦ [F]melody
Ridin' [C]to (Ridin' to) Amaril[F]lo (Amarillo) just my [C]rifle, pony and [F]me

No more [C]cow (no more cow) to be [F]ropin' (to be ropin')
No more [C]strays (no more strays) will I [F]see
Round the [C]bend (round the bend) she'll be [F]waitin' (she'll be waitin')
For my [C]Rifle, [F]pony and [C]me

For my [C]rifle, my [F]pony and [C]me
