[00:00.00]Chestnut Mare - The Byrds
[00:02.60]Always alone never with a herd
[00:10.46]Prettiest mare I've ever seen
[00:14.27]You'll have to take my word
[00:18.64]I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can
[00:25.81]And when I do I'll give her my brand
[00:34.24]Well I was up on Stony Ridge after this chestnut mare
[00:39.23]I'd been chasin' her for weeks
[00:42.54]Oh I'd catch a glimpse of her every once in a while
[00:45.47]Takin' her meal or bathin
[00:48.40]A fine lady
[00:51.65]This one day I happened to be real close to her
[00:53.62]I saw her standin' over there
[00:56.28]So I snuck up to her nice and easy
[01:00.27]And I got my rope out
[01:03.39]And I flung it in the air
[01:06.49]I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can
[01:14.23]And when I do I'll give her my brand
[01:22.47]And we'll be friends for life
[01:25.84]She'll be just like a wife
[01:30.08]I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can
[01:37.57]Well I got her and I'm pullin' on her she's pullin' back
[01:40.63]Like a mule goin' up a ladder
[01:45.37]I take this chance and I jump up on her
[01:49.24]Damned if I don't land right on top of her
[01:51.98]Well she takes off runnin' up on to that ridge
[01:56.41]Higher than I've ever been before
[01:59.97]She's runnin' along just fine till she stops
[02:04.21]Something spooked her
[02:04.65]It's a sidewinder all coiled and ready to strike
[02:10.95]She doesn't know what to do for a second
[02:12.45]But then she jumps off the edge
[02:15.13]Me holding on
[02:17.39]Above the clouds
[02:19.81]Higher than eagles were gliding
[02:24.06]Suspended in the sky
[02:30.92]Over the moon
[02:33.23]Straight for the sun we were riding
[02:37.68]My eyes were filled with light
[02:43.85]Behind us black walls
[02:46.85]Below us a bottomless canyon
[02:51.84]Floating with no sound
[02:57.89]Gulls far below
[03:00.70]Seemed to be suddenly rising
[03:05.07]Exploding all around
[03:12.43]I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can
[03:20.73]And when I do I'll give her my brand
[03:28.41]And we'll be friends for life
[03:32.15]She'll be just like a wife
[03:36.21]I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can
[03:44.12]And we were falling down this crevice about a mile down I'd say
[03:50.92]I look down and I see this red thing below us
[03:53.48]Comin' up real fast and it's our reflection in a little pool of water
[03:56.85]About six feet wide and one foot deep
[04:01.53]Crawling down right through it
[04:04.52]We hit and we splashed it dry
[04:07.33]That's when I lost my hold and she got away
[04:11.07]But I'm gonna' try to get her again some day
[04:15.25]I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can
[04:22.87]And when I do I'll give her my brand
[04:30.60]And we'll be friends for life
[04:34.35]She'll be just like a wife
[04:38.47]I'm gonna' catch that horse
[04:42.02]I'm gonna' catch that horse
[04:45.71]I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can
[04:53.94]I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can
