Chestnut Mare-The Byrds

[00:01.44]Always alone [00:05.83]Never with a herd [00:10.43]Prettiest mare I've ever seen [00:14.35]You'll have to take my word [00:18.27][01:06.41][01:29.84][03:11.81][03:35.79][04:15.20]I'm going to catch that horse if I can [00:25.95][01:14.16][03:20.36][04:22.63]And when I do I'll give her my brand [00:34.07]Well I was up on Stony Ridge [00:35.84]After this chestnut mare, been chasing her for weeks [00:42.37]Oh I'd catch a glimpse of her every once in a while [00:45.43]Taking her meal, bathing, fine lady [00:51.46]This one day I happen to be real close to her [00:53.31]And I saw her standing over there [00:56.25]So I snuck up on her nice and easy [01:00.27]Got my rope out [01:02.34]And I flung it in the air! [01:21.82][03:28.22][04:30.40]And we'll be friends for life [01:25.68][03:31.89][04:34.11]She'll be just like a wife [01:37.63]And I got her and I'm pulling on her [01:39.50]And she's pulling back like this mule going up a ladder [01:45.42]And I take a choice and I jump right up on her [01:49.26]Damned if I don't land right on top of her [01:52.08]And she takes off, running up onto the ridge [01:56.51]Higher than I've ever been before [01:59.99]She's running along just fine [02:03.31]'Til she stops and something spooked her [02:05.46]It's a sidewinder, all coiled and ready to strike [02:10.99]She doesn't know what to do for a second [02:12.47]But then, she jumps off the edge, me holding on [02:17.38]Above the hills, higher than eagles were gliding [02:24.14]Suspended in the sky [02:30.75]Over the moon [02:33.34]Straight for the sun we were riding [02:37.89]My eyes were filled with light [02:43.87]Behind those black walls [02:46.84]Below was a bottomless canyon [02:51.78]Floating with no sound [02:57.91]Ghosts far below [03:00.71]Seemed to be suddenly rising [03:05.17]Exploding all around [03:43.90]We were falling [03:45.55]Down this crevice [03:47.47]About about a mile down it seem [03:50.67]And I looked down [03:51.26]And I see this red thing below us coming up real fast [03:54.60]And it's our reflection that's [03:56.32]This little pool of water about six feet wide and one foot deep [04:01.59]And we're falling down right through it [04:04.78]We hit, we splashed it dry [04:07.38]That's when I lost my hold [04:09.58]And she got away [04:11.25]But I'm gonna try and get her again some day [04:38.18]I'm going to catch that horse, [04:41.77]I'm going to catch that horse [04:45.73]I'm going to catch that horse, if I can, [04:53.35]I'm going to catch that horse, if I can
