Ridin' Down The Canyon

Sons Of The Pioneers


When evening chores are over at the ranch house on the plains 
And all I have to do is lay around, 
I saddle up my pony and go ridin' down the trail 
To watch the desert sun go down. 

Ridin' down the canyon to watch the sun go down 
A picture that no artist ere can paint. 
White faced cattle lowing on the mountain side, 
I hear a coyote calling for its mate. 

Cactus plants are blooming, sage brush everywhere, 
granite spires are standing all around, 
I tell you folks it's heaven to go riding down the trail 
When the desert sun goes down...
