| [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 |
