Ridin' Down the Canyon

Sons of the Pioneers & Roy Rogers



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...
