Rio Bravo - Peggy Lee, Helen O'Connell, Nat King Cole

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 canyon

that is 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 sweet my 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 ropin'

No more strays will I see

'round the bend shell be waitin

For my rifle pony and me

For my rifle my pony and me

I wish I was a apple hangin' in a tree

And everytime my sweetheart passed

She’d take a bite off me

She told me that she loved me

She called me sugar plum

She threw her arms around me

I thought my time had come.

Get along home, Cindy-Cindy

Get along home, Cindy-Cindy

Get along home, Cindy-Cindy

I’ll marry you sometime.

I wish I had a needle

As fine as I could sew

I’d sew her in my pocket

And down the road I go

Cindy hugged and kissed me

She wrung her hands and cried

Swore I was the prettiest thing

That ever lived or died.

Get along home, Cindy-Cindy

Get along home, Cindy-Cindy

Get along home, Cindy-Cindy

I’ll marry you sometime…
