| Always alone never with a herd
|
| Prettiest mare I’ve ever seen
|
| You’ll have to take my word
|
| I’m gonna’catch that horse if I can
|
| And when I do I’ll give her my brand
|
| Well I was up on Stony Ridge after this chestnut mare
|
| I’d been chasin’her for weeks
|
| Oh, I’d catch a glimpse of her every once in a while
|
| Takin’her meal, or bathin
|
| A fine lady
|
| This one day I happened to be real close to her
|
| I saw her standin’over there
|
| So I snuck up to her nice and easy
|
| And I got my rope out
|
| And I flung it in the air
|
| I’m gonna’catch that horse if I can
|
| And when I do I’ll give her my brand
|
| And we’ll be friends for life
|
| She’ll be just like a wife
|
| I’m gonna’catch that horse if I can
|
| Well I got her, and I’m pullin’on her, she’s pullin’back
|
| like a mule goin’up a ladder
|
| I take this chance and I jump up on her
|
| Damned if I don’t land right on top of her
|
| Well she takes off, runnin’up on to that ridge
|
| Higher than I’ve ever been before
|
| She’s runnin’along just fine, till she stops
|
| Something spooked her
|
| It’s a sidewinder, all coiled and ready to strike
|
| She doesn’t know what to do for a second
|
| But then she jumps off the edge
|
| Me holding on Above the clouds
|
| Higher than eagles were gliding
|
| Suspended in the sky
|
| Over the moon
|
| Straight for the sun we were riding
|
| My eyes were filled with light
|
| Behind us black walls
|
| Below us a bottomless canyon
|
| Floating with no sound
|
| Gulls far below
|
| Seemed to be suddenly rising
|
| Exploding all around
|
| I’m gonna’catch that horse if I can
|
| And when I do I’ll give her my brand
|
| And we’ll be friends for life
|
| She’ll be just like a wife
|
| I’m gonna’catch that horse if I can
|
| And we were falling down this crevice, about a mile down I’d say!
|
| I look down and I see this red thing below us Comin’up real fast and it’s our reflection in a little pool of water
|
| About six feet wide, and one foot deep
|
| Crawling down right through it We hit and we splashed it dry
|
| That’s when I lost my hold and she got away
|
| But I’m gonna’try to get her again some day
|
| I’m gonna’catch that horse if I can
|
| And when I do I’ll give her my brand
|
| And we’ll be friends for life
|
| She’ll be just like a wife
|
| I’m gonna’catch that horse
|
| I’m gonna’catch that horse
|
| I’m gonna’catch that horse if I can
|
| I’m gonna’catch that horse if I can |
