Charlie Daniels - Caballo Diablo lyrics

[Verse 1: Chris LeDoux] Wild as a coastal barronca Swift as the wind blowin' free With two eyes like fire brands that glow in the night Somewhere up there, he's waiting for me He knows that I'm comin' for him And I just can't rest 'til I find That raven black stallion who wears no man's brand With a wild, restless spirit like mine [Chorus: Chris LeDoux] They call him "Caballo Diablo" Half horse, half devil, they say Caballo Diablo the outlaw Up atop of Sierra Madre [Verse 2: Chris LeDoux & Charlie Daniels] Two men before tried to take him And they had their chance, one by one But each met his fate when those flashing black hooves Brought d**h 'neath the Mexican sun Still I can't leave, I must find him You fool of a horse, can't you see? Well, I may be half man, but the other half's devil And you're just exactly like me Well, I may be half man, but the other half's devil And you're just exactly like me [Chorus: Charlie Daniels] They call him "Caballo Diablo" Half horse an' half devil, they say Caballo Diablo the outlaw Up atop of Sierra Madre [Verse 3: Charlie Daniels, spoken] Even the breeze has stopped moving Hush now, be still Don't make a sound and stay close to the ground 'Cause he's waiting just over the hill Downwind behind me, move quickly Do it fast, now, he's starting to stir Grab a handful of mane and up onto his back And start rakin' him down with your spurs [Verse 4: Chris LeDoux] But try as he will, he can't shake me As over the precipice we go To spill the life-blood of a horse and a man On the rocky Sierra below [Chorus: Chris LeDoux] They call him "Caballo Diablo" Half horse, half devil, they say Caballo Diablo the outlaw Up atop of Sierra Madre
