Chestnut Mare - The Byrds[00:00:00]
Always alone never with a herd[00:00:01]
Prettiest mare I've ever seen[00:00:10]
You'll have to take my word[00:00:14]
I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can[00:00:19]
And when I do I'll give her my brand[00:00:26]
Well I was up on Stony Ridge after this chestnut mare[00:00:34]
I'd been chasin' her for weeks[00:00:39]
Oh I'd catch a glimpse of her every once in a while[00:00:42]
Takin' her meal or bathin[00:00:46]
A fine lady[00:00:48]
This one day I happened to be real close to her[00:00:51]
I saw her standin' over there[00:00:54]
So I snuck up to her nice and easy[00:00:56]
And I got my rope out[00:01:00]
And I flung it in the air[00:01:03]
I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can[00:01:07]
And when I do I'll give her my brand[00:01:14]
And we'll be friends for life[00:01:22]
She'll be just like a wife[00:01:26]
I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can[00:01:30]
Well I got her and I'm pullin' on her she's pullin' back[00:01:37]
Like a mule goin' up a ladder[00:01:40]
I take this chance and I jump up on her[00:01:46]
Damned if I don't land right on top of her[00:01:50]
Well she takes off runnin' up on to that ridge[00:01:52]
Higher than I've ever been before[00:01:57]
She's runnin' along just fine till she stops[00:02:00]
Something spooked her[00:02:04]
It's a sidewinder all coiled and ready to strike[00:02:06]
She doesn't know what to do for a second[00:02:11]
But then she jumps off the edge[00:02:13]
Me holding on[00:02:16]
Above the clouds[00:02:18]
Higher than eagles were gliding[00:02:20]
Suspended in the sky[00:02:25]
Over the moon[00:02:31]
Straight for the sun we were riding[00:02:34]
My eyes were filled with light[00:02:38]
Behind us black walls[00:02:44]
Below us a bottomless canyon[00:02:47]
Floating with no sound[00:02:53]
Gulls far below[00:02:59]
Seemed to be suddenly rising[00:03:01]
Exploding all around[00:03:06]
I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can[00:03:14]
And when I do I'll give her my brand[00:03:21]
And we'll be friends for life[00:03:29]
She'll be just like a wife[00:03:33]
I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can[00:03:37]
And we were falling down this crevice about a mile down I'd say [00:03:45]
I look down and I see this red thing below us[00:03:51]
Comin' up real fast and it's our reflection in a little pool of water[00:03:54]
About six feet wide and one foot deep[00:03:58]
Crawling down right through it[00:04:02]
We hit and we splashed it dry[00:04:05]
That's when I lost my hold and she got away[00:04:08]
But I'm gonna' try to get her again some day[00:04:12]
I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can[00:04:16]
And when I do I'll give her my brand[00:04:24]
And we'll be friends for life[00:04:32]
She'll be just like a wife[00:04:35]
I'm gonna' catch that horse[00:04:39]
I'm gonna' catch that horse[00:04:43]
I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can[00:04:47]
I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can[00:04:55]
