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

Purple light in the canyons
That's where I long to be
With my three [bad word] Just my rifle, pony and me

Gonna hang my sombrero 
On the limb of a [bad word] home sweetheart darling 
Just my rifle, pony and me

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