While we're in the cowboy mode, another one I love was written by Gene Autry and Smiley Burnett.
It's not in the DT, but it is at cowpie.

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 its 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.
