Rio Bravo - Dean Martin & Ricky Nelson & Walter Brennan (High Quality)

Lyrics - My rifle pony and me

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 canyon
that is 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
Coming home sweet my darling
just my rifle 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 shell be waitin
For my rifle pony and me
For my rifle my pony and me

Lyrics - 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...

I do not care how old you are or what your musical tastes are, how can YOU NOT LOVE THIS?

I remember the moment, when Dean Martin started to sing . It mesmerized me. His voice filled out the movie theatre . Was as sweet as molasses on a warm sunny day. Only much latter I have learned that he was training his vocal cords by singing to a board held in front of his mouth, to hear his own aliquots ( a very short frequencies "surrounding" the main sung notes ). Still years later I discovered an incredibly subttle vibrato that was all his. Stating it simply, Dino was a fantastically professional and talented singer. Thank to people like him this world is well worth living in it. The beauty that they give to all of us.

My favorite scene in the film. It’s sweet and warm. Wayne looks like he was enjoying himself thoroughly.

[tayycee]

So my father got me started on old films, mostly due to the fact that he was completely blind and had lost sight totally around the time I was born, so anything we'd watch together was always old because he could remember seeing it, and could watch it in his head. This movie started an obsession with Dean Martin, because I was a kid and had no idea how famous he actually was. John Wayne is my favorite actor, and Dean Martin is still my favorite singer. This movie has so much nostalgia for me, and this scene brings back so many great memories. End nostalgia rant.

Now, I am 86, and I love this song and the movie I watched when I was young.

[martins.]

Notice how Dean and Ricky switch the lead vocal back and forth so effortlessly.

[MrCosmos]

This is just one of those magic moments of movie history!

[ianfarmaner]

A classic scene from " Rio bravo" with 4 outstanding actors sadly no longer with us, I'm afraid we will never see the like again of such a brilliant mixture put together to pull off a wonderful film.

[RobertWalkerbooks]

1 of the greatest moments in Western film history so far as I am concerned.

[jamesschneider]

How there can be over 500 dislikes is beyond me, this is my favorite part in "Rio Bravo", because you know Duke enjoyed their singing, Dino is known as "King of Cool" for a reason, his voice was so nice it is a shame they're all since long gone. Duke, Dino, Ricky and Walter we miss and love you, here's to seeing you up there among the stars again

[HarvinderHira]

still loving it in 2025. who's listening too?

[wawawawu]

Rio Bravo was one of my dads most favourite movies and its mine too. This szene with Dean Martin, Walter Brennan and Ricky Nelson was his alltime favourite. He passed away 8 years ago short before his 70s birthday. Each time i see this or hear that songs i instantly start crying... Wonderful songs, great actors and a lot of sentimental memories. THX FOR SHARING!!

[JohnMalam-jx]

I play it and sang it to my daughters from when they were toddlers and are both now teenagers. They know them word for word and both appreciate the quality of the vocals, the presence on set and the unique atmosphere between them all, absolutely fabulous.

[voicegirl]

Happy 80 years young Rick. You were so handsome and talented. Time has flow by too quick. You, Dean, Duke and Walter are all gone now, but thank goodness for film. You and them are all still alive on film in a film that has stood the test of time.

[kornofulgur]

As a non prime English speaker, this song always had been a joy to listen, it's very understandable as a beginner and at the same such a good scene in this such a good western!

[MikeCaz]

The most underrated A-list talent in Hollywood history

[rhondaboncutter]

This movie was one of the best ever! John Wayne, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson and Walter Brennan! All wonderful actors and singers! All have passed now! Nothing better than this!

[ericseal]

One of the best scenes in a western. John Wayne, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, and Walter Brennen! You cant top that!

[boxcat]

I feel so blessed to grow up with these actors and what a song.

[eddielowes]

We played this at my dad’s funeral back in 2014 one of his favourite films and everywhere I go either holiday or around the uk this film or song comes on all the time makes me think that he is still with me when I hear currently sat in the cemetery in the car playing this song ❤
