Ridin' Down the Canyon

by Gene Autry & Smiley Burnett

When evening chores are over at our ranch house on the plain

And all I've got to do is lay around

I saddle up my pony and ride off 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 e'er could paint

White faced cattle lowin' on the mountian side

Hear a coyote whinin' for it's mate

Cactus plants are bloomin', sagebrush every where

Granite spires are standin' all around

I tell you folks it's heaven

To be ridin' down the trail

When the desert sun goes down
