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]
