Caballo Diablo

Wild as a coastal Barronca 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 till 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 a top the 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? Well 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 and half-devil they say Caballo Diablo the outlaw Up a top the Sierra Madre Even the breezes stopped moving 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 and up on to his back And start raking him down with your spurs But try as he will, he can't shake me As over the precipice we go To spell the life blood 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 a top the Sierra Madre
