The Byrds - Chestnut Mare lyrics

Always alone Never with a herd Prettiest mare I've ever seen You'll have to take my word I'm going to 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'd catch a glimpse of her every once in a while Taking her meal, or bathing Fine lady This one day I happened to be real close to her I saw her standing over there So I snuck up on her nice and easy Got my rope out And I flung it in the air! I'm going to 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 going to catch that horse if I can We were falling down this crevice About about a mile down, it seemed And I looked down and I see this red thing below us coming up real fast And it's our reflection that's This little pool of water about six feet wide and one foot deep We were falling down right through it We hit, 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 going to 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 going to catch that horse I'm going to catch that horse I'm going to catch that horse if I can I'm going to catch that horse if I can I'm going to catch that horse if I can
