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, bathing, fine lady This one day I happen to be real close to her And 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 And I got her and I'm pulling on her And she's pulling back like this mule going up a ladder And I take a choice and I jump right up on her Damned if I don't land right on top of her And she takes off, running up onto the ridge Higher than I've ever been before She's running along just fine 'Til she stops and 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 hills, higher than eagles were gliding Suspended in the sky Over the hill Straight for the sun we were riding My eyes were filled with light Behind those black walls Below was a bottomless canyon Floating with no sound Ghosts far below Seemed to be suddenly rising Exploding all around 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 seem 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 And we're 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 and 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
