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
