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]
