Chestnut Mare - The Byrds[00:00:00]
Always alone never with a herd[00:00:02]
Prettiest mare I've ever seen[00:00:11]
You'll have to take my word[00:00:15]
I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can[00:00:19]
And when I do I'll give her my brand[00:00:27]
Well I was up on Stony Ridge after this chestnut mare[00:00:35]
I'd been chasin' her for weeks[00:00:40]
Oh I'd catch a glimpse of her every once in a while[00:00:43]
Takin' her meal or bathin[00:00:46]
A fine lady[00:00:49]
This one day I happened to be real close to her[00:00:52]
I saw her standin' over there[00:00:54]
So I snuck up to her nice and easy[00:00:57]
And I got my rope out[00:01:01]
And I flung it in the air[00:01:04]
I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can[00:01:07]
And when I do I'll give her my brand[00:01:15]
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[00:01:31]
Well I got her and I'm pullin' on her she's pullin' back[00:01:37]
Like a mule goin' up a ladder[00:01:41]
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[00:01:53]
Higher than I've ever been before[00:01:57]
She's runnin' along just fine till she stops[00:02:01]
Something spooked her[00:02:05]
It's a sidewinder all coiled and ready to strike[00:02:06]
She doesn't know what to do for a second[00:02:12]
But then she jumps off the edge[00:02:14]
Me holding on[00:02:16]
Above the clouds[00:02:19]
Higher than eagles were gliding[00:02:21]
Suspended in the sky[00:02:25]
Over the moon[00:02:32]
Straight for the sun we were riding[00:02:34]
My eyes were filled with light[00:02:39]
Behind us black walls[00:02:45]
Below us a bottomless canyon[00:02:48]
Floating with no sound[00:02:53]
Gulls far below[00:02:59]
Seemed to be suddenly rising[00:03:02]
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[00:03:22]
And we'll be friends for life[00:03:30]
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[00:03:52]
Comin' up real fast and it's our reflection in a little pool of water[00:03:55]
About six feet wide and one foot deep[00:03:59]
Crawling down right through it[00:04:03]
We hit and we splashed it dry[00:04:06]
That's when I lost my hold and she got away[00:04:09]
But I'm gonna' try to get her again some day[00:04:13]
I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can[00:04:17]
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[00:04:36]
I'm gonna' catch that horse[00:04:40]
I'm gonna' catch that horse[00:04:44]
I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can[00:04:48]
I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can[00:04:56]
