[Verse]
Purple light in the canyons
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
Coming home sweetheart 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 roping
No more strays will I see
Round the bend she'll be waiting
For my rifle, pony and me
For my rifle, pony and me
