Caballo Diablo - Edit

Wild as a coastal barranca

Swift as the wind blowing free

With two eyes like fire brands that glow in the night

Somewhere up there he's waiting for me

And he knows that I'm coming' for him

And I just can't rest 'til I find

That raven black stallion who wears no man's brand

With a wild restless spirit like mine

They call him Caballo Diablo

Half-horse, half-devil, they say

Caballo Diablo the outlaw

Up atop of Sierra Madre

♪

Two men before tried to take him

They had their chance one by one

But each met his fate when those flashing black hooves

Brought death 'neath the Mexican sun

Still I can't leave, I must find him

You fool of a horse, can't you see?

I may be half man but the other half's devil

And you're just exactly like me

They call him Caballo Diablo

Half-horse, half-devil, they say

Caballo Diablo the outlaw

Up atop of Sierra Madre

♪

Even the breeze has stopped moving

Oh, hush now, be still

Don't make a sound and stay close to the ground

'Cause he's waitin' just over that hill

Downwind behind him, move quickly

Do it fast, now, he's starting to stir

Grab a handful of mane, then up onto his back

And start raking him down with my spurs

But try as he will, he can't shake me

As over the precipice we go

To share the lifeblood of a horse and a man

On the rocky Sierra below

They call him Caballo Diablo

Half-horse, half-devil, they say

Caballo Diablo the outlaw

Up atop of Sierra Madre
