[offset:-100] |
[00:01.44] |
Always alone |
[00:05.83] |
Never with a herd |
[00:10.43] |
Prettiest mare I've ever seen |
[00:14.35] |
You'll have to take my word |
[00:18.27][01:06.41][01:29.84][03:11.81][03:35.79][04:15.20] |
I'm going to catch that horse if I can |
[00:25.95][01:14.16][03:20.36][04:22.63] |
And when I do I'll give her my brand |
[00:34.07] |
Well I was up on Stony Ridge |
[00:35.84] |
After this chestnut mare, been chasing her for weeks |
[00:42.37] |
Oh I'd catch a glimpse of her every once in a while |
[00:45.43] |
Taking her meal, bathing, fine lady |
[00:51.46] |
This one day I happen to be real close to her |
[00:53.31] |
And I saw her standing over there |
[00:56.25] |
So I snuck up on her nice and easy |
[01:00.27] |
Got my rope out |
[01:02.34] |
And I flung it in the air! |
[01:21.82][03:28.22][04:30.40] |
And we'll be friends for life |
[01:25.68][03:31.89][04:34.11] |
She'll be just like a wife |
[01:37.63] |
And I got her and I'm pulling on her |
[01:39.50] |
And she's pulling back like this mule going up a ladder |
[01:45.42] |
And I take a choice and I jump right up on her |
[01:49.26] |
Damned if I don't land right on top of her |
[01:52.08] |
And she takes off, running up onto the ridge |
[01:56.51] |
Higher than I've ever been before |
[01:59.99] |
She's running along just fine |
[02:03.31] |
'Til she stops and something spooked her |
[02:05.46] |
It's a sidewinder, all coiled and ready to strike |
[02:10.99] |
She doesn't know what to do for a second |
[02:12.47] |
But then, she jumps off the edge, me holding on |
[02:17.38] |
Above the hills, higher than eagles were gliding |
[02:24.14] |
Suspended in the sky |
[02:30.75] |
Over the moon |
[02:33.34] |
Straight for the sun we were riding |
[02:37.89] |
My eyes were filled with light |
[02:43.87] |
Behind those black walls |
[02:46.84] |
Below was a bottomless canyon |
[02:51.78] |
Floating with no sound |
[02:57.91] |
Ghosts far below |
[03:00.71] |
Seemed to be suddenly rising |
[03:05.17] |
Exploding all around |
[03:43.90] |
We were falling |
[03:45.55] |
Down this crevice |
[03:47.47] |
About about a mile down it seem |
[03:50.67] |
And I looked down |
[03:51.26] |
And I see this red thing below us coming up real fast |
[03:54.60] |
And it's our reflection that's |
[03:56.32] |
This little pool of water about six feet wide and one foot deep |
[04:01.59] |
And we're falling down right through it |
[04:04.78] |
We hit, we splashed it dry |
[04:07.38] |
That's when I lost my hold |
[04:09.58] |
And she got away |
[04:11.25] |
But I'm gonna try and get her again some day |
[04:38.18] |
I'm going to catch that horse, |
[04:41.77] |
I'm going to catch that horse |
[04:45.73] |
I'm going to catch that horse, if I can, |
[04:53.35] |
I'm going to catch that horse, if I can |
