Here are the lyrics to one of my most favorite songs:
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 good companions
Just my rifle, pony and me
Gonna hang (gonna hang) my sombrero (my sombrero)
On the limb (on the limb) of a tree (of a tree)
Coming home (coming home) sweetheart darling (sweetheart darling)
Just my rifle, pony and me
Just my rifle, my pony and me
(Whippoorwill in the willow
Sings a sweet melody
Riding to 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

Love it too! Is that Dean Martin and Willie Nelson singing?
Well, I just read your playlist - and Yup Dean Martin but Ricky Nelson is the other singer. Very nice!
So, please excuse the previous ring :o).
It is Dean Martin for the first part and Ricky Nelson chimes in during the second part:) I so love this song and the movie!
