Byrds, The

Chestnut Mare
Always alone Never with a herd Prettiest mare I've ever seen You 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 Been chasing Her for weeks Oh I catch a glimpse of Her every once in a while Taken' Her meal or bathin' Letras de canciones Fine Lady This one day I happen to be real close to Her And I saw Her standin' over there So I snuck up on Her nice and easy Got my rope out and I flung it in the air I'm gonna catch that horse if I can An' when I do I'll give Her my brand An' we'll be friends for life She'll be just like a Wife I'm gonna catch that horse if I can An' I got Her and I'm pullin' on Her An' she's pullin' back like this mule going' up a ladder An' I take a choice and I jump right up on Her Damned if I don't land right on top of Her An' She takes off Running' up on to the ridge Higher than I've ever been before She's runnin' along just fine Till She stops an' somethin' 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 holdin' on.... Above the hills 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 was 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 An' when I do I'll give Her my brand An' we'll be friends for life She'll be just like a Wife I'm gonna catch that horse if I can We were fallin' down this crevice 'bout a mile down that sink I looked down and I see this red thing below us Commin' up real fast An' I saw this reflection in this little pool of water 'bout 6 feet wide and one foot deep An' we're fallin' down right through it An' we hit an' splashed it dry An' that's when I lost hold An' She got away But I'm gonna try and get her again someday I'm gonna catch that horse if I can An' when I do I'll give Her my brand An' 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 I'm gonna catch that horse if I can I'm gonna catch that horse if I can...
