Always alone never with a herd

Prettiest mare I've ever seen

You'll have to take my word

I'm gonna be 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 chasing her for weeks

Oh I'd catch a glimpse of her

every once in a while

Taking her meal or bathing

A fine lady

This one day I happened

to be real close to her

I saw her standing over there

So I snuck up to her

nice and easy

I got my rope out

And I flung it in the air

I'm gonna be 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 be catch that horse

if I can

Well I got her

and I'm pulling on her

she's pulling back

Like a mule going 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 running up

on to that ridge

Higher than I've ever been before

She's running 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

she jumps then 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 bottomless canyon

Floating with no sound

Gulls far below

Seemed to be suddenly rising

Exploding all around

I'm gonna be 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 be catch that horse

if I can

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

we're 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 be try to

get her again some day

I'm gonna be 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 be catch that horse

I'm gonna be catch that horse

I'm gonna be catch that horse

if I can

I'm gonna be catch that horse

if I can
