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.
Comin' home sweetheart darlin', just my rifle, pony and me.
Whippoorwill in the willow, sings a sweet melody.
Ridin' 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.
For my rifle, my pony and me.
Enjoy!
