Chestnut Mare

Written by roger mcguinn and jacques levy
5
Always alone never with a herd
6
Prettiest mare i've ever seen
7
You'll have to take my word
8
I'm gonna' catch that horse if i can
9
And when i do i'll give her my brand
10
Well i was up on stony ridge after this chestnut mare
11
I'd been chasin' her for weeks
12
Oh, i'd catch a glimpse of her every once in a while
13
Takin' her meal, or bathin
14
A fine lady
15
This one day i happened to be real close to her
16
I saw her standin' over there
17
So i snuck up to her nice and easy
18
And i got my rope out
19
And i flung it in the air
20
I'm gonna' catch that horse if i can
21
And when i do i'll give her my brand
22
And we'll be friends for life
23
She'll be just like a wife
24
I'm gonna' catch that horse if i can
25
Well i got her, and i'm pullin' on her, she's pullin' back
26
Like a mule goin' up a ladder
27
I take this chance and i jump up on her
28
Damned if i don't land right on top of her
29
Well she takes off, runnin' up on to that ridge
30
Higher than i've ever been before
31
She's runnin' along just fine, till she stops
32
Something spooked her
33
It's a sidewinder, all coiled and ready to strike
34
She doesn't know what to do for a second
35
But then she jumps off the edge
36
Me holding on
37
Above the clouds
38
Higher than eagles were gliding
39
Suspended in the sky
40
Over the moon
41
Straight for the sun we were riding
42
My eyes were filled with light
43
Behind us black walls
44
Below us a bottomless canyon
45
Floating with no sound
46
Gulls far below
47
Seemed to be suddenly rising
48
Exploding all around
49
I'm gonna' catch that horse if i can
50
And when i do i'll give her my brand
51
And we'll be friends for life
52
She'll be just like a wife
53
I'm gonna' catch that horse if i can
54
And we were falling down this crevice, about a mile down
55
I'd say! i look down and i see this red thing below us
56
It's our reflection in a little pool of water
57
About six feet wide, and one foot deep
58
And we're comin' up real fast
59
Crawling down right through it
60
We hit and we splashed it dry
61
That's when i lost my hold and she got away
62
But i'm gonna' try to get her again some day
63
I'm gonna' catch that horse if i can
64
And when i do i'll give her my brand
65
And we'll be friends for life
66
She'll be just like a wife
67
I'm gonna' catch that horse
68
I'm gonna' catch that horse
69
I'm gonna' catch that horse if i can
70
I'm gonna' catch that horse if i can
