Chestnut Mare - The Byrds[00:00:00]
Always alone never with a herd[00:00:02]
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[00:00:18]
And when I do I'll give her my brand[00:00:25]
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[00:00:45]
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[00:00:53]
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[00:01:06]
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[00:01:25]
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[00:01:45]
Damned if I don't land right on top of her[00:01:49]
Well she takes off runnin' up on to that ridge[00:01:51]
Higher than I've ever been before[00:01:56]
She's runnin' along just fine till she stops[00:01:59]
Something spooked her[00:02:04]
It's a sidewinder all coiled and ready to strike[00:02:04]
She doesn't know what to do for a second[00:02:10]
But then she jumps off the edge[00:02:12]
Me holding on[00:02:15]
Above the clouds[00:02:17]
Higher than eagles were gliding[00:02:19]
Suspended in the sky[00:02:24]
Over the moon[00:02:30]
Straight for the sun we were riding[00:02:33]
My eyes were filled with light[00:02:37]
Behind us black walls[00:02:43]
Below us a bottomless canyon[00:02:46]
Floating with no sound[00:02:51]
Gulls far below[00:02:57]
Seemed to be suddenly rising[00:03:00]
Exploding all around[00:03:05]
I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can[00:03:12]
And when I do I'll give her my brand[00:03:20]
And we'll be friends for life[00:03:28]
She'll be just like a wife[00:03:32]
I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can[00:03:36]
And we were falling down this crevice about a mile down I'd say [00:03:44]
I look down and I see this red thing below us[00:03:50]
Comin' up real fast and it's our reflection in a little pool of water[00:03:53]
About six feet wide and one foot deep[00:03:56]
Crawling down right through it[00:04:01]
We hit and we splashed it dry[00:04:04]
That's when I lost my hold and she got away[00:04:07]
But I'm gonna' try to get her again some day[00:04:11]
I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can[00:04:15]
And when I do I'll give her my brand[00:04:22]
And we'll be friends for life[00:04:30]
She'll be just like a wife[00:04:34]
I'm gonna' catch that horse[00:04:38]
I'm gonna' catch that horse[00:04:42]
I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can[00:04:45]
I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can[00:04:53]
