Rio Bravo

By the river

Rio Bravo

I walk all alone

And I wonder as I wander by the river

Where my love has flown

 

All the birds in the cottonwood above her

Know I love her

Know I care

But my dreams, like the songs, she sang in Spanish

Seem to vanish

In the air

 

I wonder where

 

So I wonder as I wander

Will love come along

Must I live ever after

By the memory of her song

 

While the river Rio Bravo flows along

Rio Bravo, Rio Bravo

While the river Rio Bravo flows along

 Rio Bravo

My Rifle My Pony And Me

Dean Martin & Ricky Nelson

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 my sombrero

On the limb of a tree

Comin' home sweetheart darlin'

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 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

 

Ricky Nelson & Walter Brennen

"Cindy"

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
