prettiest mare i've ever seen

you'll have to take my word

i'm gonna' 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

i'd been chasin' her for weeks

oh i'd catch a glimpse of her every once in a while

takin' her meal or bathin

a fine lady

this one day i happened to be real close to her

i saw her standin' over there

so i snuck up to her nice and easy

and i got my rope out

and i flung it in the air

i'm gonna' 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 gonna' catch that horse if i can

well i got her and i'm pullin' on her she's pullin' back

like a mule goin' up a ladder

i take this chance and i jump up on her

damned if i don't land right on top of her

well she takes off runnin' up on to that ridge

higher than i've ever been before

she's runnin' along just fine till she stops

something spooked her

it's a sidewinder all coiled and ready to strike

she doesn't know what to do for a second

but then she jumps off the edge

me holding on

above the clouds

higher than eagles were gliding

suspended in the sky

over the moon

straight for the sun we were riding

my eyes were filled with light

behind us black walls

below us a canyon

floating with no sound

gulls far below

seemed to be suddenly rising

exploding all around

i'm gonna' 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 gonna' catch that horse if i can

and we were falling down this crevice about a mile down

i'd say i look down and i see this red thing below us

it's our reflection in a little pool of water

about six feet wide and one foot deep

and we're comin' up real fast

crawling down right through it

we hit and 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 gonna' 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 gonna' catch that horse

i'm gonna' catch that horse

i'm gonna' catch that horse if i can

i'm gonna' catch that horse if i can
