Don Williams - My Rifle, My Pony And Me Lyrics

If l had to choose ' it would be the Dean , Ricky and Walter Brennen version. But boy , Don Williams is a close 2nd...

Dean Martin sang this song with Rick Nelson and Walter Brennan

RIP Don Williams You are Sadly missed by all of your Fans etc.

Dean and Ricky did a great job on this tune. But, Don just sort of fits the part. Just a easy going, riding cowboy.

Canções nobres adoro 🌷🙏

I just love this always have since I first heard it

Legends will be legends who still listen this song 2019

Not as good as Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson in Rio Bravo, but still passably decent.

Dean Martin's version is 1,000.000 better! In this version ''time for a cowboy to sing'' does not sit right with the sing! But in Dean's version ''time for the cowboy to dream'' is more fitting.......................

Rip don! What do you do with good ol boys like me!

Great cover ! Love it !

I love both Dean & Don's versions. I love the era of music & movies of the Dean version (& LOVE his voice in anything!), but Don's version has the melodic clippidy-clop of a good, basic western tune, too - & Don's also has an awesome slightly more upbeat tempo for a good, solid Arizona Two-Step.... If I have a choice between two artists of one song, I will generally choose an original artist's.... So Dean has hedge over Don for me in this regard.

Dean Martin was HELL better!!!

The sun is sinking in the west
The cattle go down to the stream
The redwing settle in their nest
It's time for a cowboy to sing.

Purple light in the canyon
That's where I long to be
With my three good companions
Just my rifle, my pony and me.

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

got to go with majoriy and say "nice" but Deano;s is better

Nice, but Dino owns this one.

Don Williams does a good job with this song.
.

Love to hear my cowboy sing,especially this one.

I have just listened to the three versions, Dean, Don, and Dean with Ricky, for me there is nothing to choose between them love them all!

Don sang this better than anyone else i have ever heard.

Top class Don Williams

You'll be rid'n in our memories for a long time, Don. RIP and Happy Trails on the other side of the hills.

RIP Don

I am still listening to my Cowboy sing this song every time I see it on my u tube, live to hear Don Williams sing this song...

Love it Don Williams
Ricky Nelson sang this. so thankful for two of the best .

so happy you put this song my cowboy sings. the first time I heard it, was with other songs fell in love with the song by Don williams right then and there, but I could not find it again I'm a happy gal I can play it now almost all through the night when I was to listen to it by my cowboy, thanks

oh I love it,love it can't get enough of don williams singing this song.

Dean Martin has a different mellow Don williams does sound like a real cowboy singing this song listen closely . I love to hear Don williams sing this song.

yup ill follow team dean on this 1 to although he sings it nicely

Beautiful!!! A faithful follower. Devonna Wright

It doesn't sound like hes putting his soul into it. Dean Martin makes you actually feel like your there as a cowboy listening

I looooooove Don Williams...but I'm team Dean on this one.

this song really suits his voice and mellow tones,lovely music

The movie is one of my all time favorite. John Wayne, Dean Martin in Rio Bravo. Directed by Howard Hawks. Dean Martin singing this song...Real Americana. 
But I like Don Williams version just as well.

+Lady Mask Don't forget Ricky Nelson also sang in the movie.

+Lady Mask Don't forget RICKY NELSON in the movie.

Very pretty  relaxing  country song

I actually like this better than the Dean Martin version. Don sounds much more like a cowboy, and there's a calm, unassuming warmth to his voice that suits the song perfectly.

I love them both but dean martin and ricky nelson sing it by far the best in rio bravo

i,ve been a big fan of don,s ever since he first came to the u.k at wembley,year,s and year,s ago but this song belong,s to the dean,no question.

Moje puška, můj kůň a já . . .

Listen to the original Dean Martin version. Knocks spots of this. This is passionless. Like he is just singing it for the sake of it.

Sladedestiny, Uh, respectfully, No

Sick people, if you can't like this song.  Probably taking another line off a table..

COWBOY BOB PURTELL SAYS THIS ONE IS THE BEST, I KNOW COZ I'M AN EXPERT!>>>thank u don ,love your version>>>>

There isn't one only Johnny Cash and Don William's song that isn't a masterpiece. The two best singers. 

wunderbare version, 1000 golden stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As a teenager I watched  the movie Rio Bravo. Today it like I see it like this song so much.

Geile Mucke. Etwas schlechter wie das Original. Aber dennoch super.

Dean Martin owns this song his voice was a hell of a lot better as well some people need to come up with their own songs this one just isnt one meant to be remade.

SaM Becker yeah like remaking Gone With The Wind

Sorryy Dean Martin is 2nd best on this song i rekoon Sir Don Williams own this song xD

michelle lineham, Don Williams could sing the phone book. Not a better voice anywhere.

you mean don williams?

Dean Martin owns this song, with all due respect to Don Williams.

Dean Martin , tune,,,, but i love don singing,!

itunes (REAL COUNTRY) terry ball all cws

great jellie sweets

Mr. Don Williams you made my mom sing and dance so happy when I was a little you made my life a happy place Thank you Don Williams your forever a star to us.

Great singing, great song. I wish he had sung all the verses though.

This Man has a Great voice and good music: cheers from Morocco !

I hope your okay. I hear N. Mexico is a mess right now. X( It's a shame, I'll never get to be a turista there in my lifetime due to the rampant crime.

Escuchar esta Cancion me hace imaginar de estar en las grandes Praterias de una vez,y sobre todo la magnifica voz y la musica, me relaja,cierro los ojos....me siento divinamente. Te adoro Don Williams!!!!

I love that song I first saw it on a western called Rio Bravo and Dean Martin sang it

Coyotes calling Quakey the rifleman! ¡ ur a nautical nautical weapon foe from space extra teresrial travel Elina kind

yheeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaa good song bravo

hello boys and girls this was a great song, that´s what a mean..........

wonderful version- as sweet , angelic, and heartfelt as dean martin and rick nelson's version. we are lucky for every great singer songwriter that has graced our world since stephen foster. my personal favorite is danny kirwan.

beautiful, but as nnhslup says, no one will ever come close to Dion

@nnhslup: I respectfully disagree.

@jpmiracle

Nice version, but nobody can beat Dean's and Ricky's.

Best version, after Dino's and Rick's, I've ever heard.

when I'm riding my horse,I love to sing this song,Annie

This is what I call country music.

Not even close Dino's(Dean Martin) Version with Ricky Nelson. Nice song.

zetokiva prefer Dino by himself, but there ain’t no right wrong or best, it’s just what each of us like

@compclueless

Dean Martin sang this song in the movie(Rio Bravo) with an assist from Ricky Nelson

I like him singing it rather than Dean Martin

Fantastic version and great voice. Just a question, where is "Gonna hang my sombrero on the limb of a tree. Coming home sweet my darling just my rifle pony and me"?. It's so short.

Don didn't sing this song in the movie Rio Bravo..Dean Martin & Ricky Nelson sang it. I am a devoted fan of Don Williams though.

Esta canción me trae recuerdos de mi infancia junto a mi padre,es preciosa¡¡¡Gracias¡¡¡.

GREAT....RiflemanRay

el sueño del vaquero

makes me feel better.

@stansell1 I didn't know that. To bad, he was a good singer.

Great voice - *****

Que formidable y entrañable Película RIO BRAVO, principal tema de Cuyo Esta canción Época , El Sueño del vaquero Lejos de Su Hogar sin . Mi fusil , mi caballo , y yo.

This song was actually written by Dimitri Tiomkin and Paul Francis Webster. Dimitri actually wrote the music for an earlier John Wayne movie, but adapted it for Rio Bravo. Don Williams does a remarkable job, as usual, but you must admit, Dean Martin owns this song after singing it in the movie.

this will always be a dean martin song. but i love don williams version too. he has a smooth voice as well

What a Film and what great STARS and cracking SONGS

He did it on his album "Borrowed Tales"

Wich movie?
Dean Martin sang...........

cowboy is my life ,i m cowboy,,,

yippy kiiiiyaaaaaaaa

I was surprised to learn that Dimitri Tiomkin first used this tune in another Howard Hawks film, "Red River". It didn't have words until "Rio Bravo".

it USED to be Country & Western.... Now its POP and they call it "Country"!

Look up 'Red Stegall' thats western,. BUT not played on the "pop" (oops, I mean "Country" charts)!

There is still SOME 'real country & Western' out there, but hard to find!

My thoughts exactly! I THOUGHT Don had a SMOOTH voice, ("Good Ol Boys" -- need I say more)

but, wow Dean did it better. (BUT Ricky's wasn't there)

I wonder if we could replace rickys ' words' with Don's?????

I would pay for a copy of that!

Best version outside of Dean's....Don's is my all time favorite singer but Dean was just smooth and well oiled in the voice...very underappreciated.

Sweeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!.......Top draw

Of course Dean and Ricky's version may be a bit better. It's a classic! But no one else can come even close to doing this as great as "The Gentle Giant" himself! Country singers today sound too much alike and sound too much like rock music. Sorry, but everyone after Garth Brooks everything went down hill!!

Not as good as Dean Martin & Ricky Nelson.

Karlcolt A real good cowboy song. Don Williams sings it just as good as Dean Martin & Rick Nelson.

Thanks for posting. What a wonderful song!

I love this song and the movie Rio Bravo....RiflemanRay
