《Chestnut Mare》歌词

[00:00:00] Chestnut Mare - The Byrds

[00:00:01] Always alone never with a herd

[00:00:10] Prettiest mare I've ever seen

[00:00:14] You'll have to take my word

[00:00:19] I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can

[00:00:26] And when I do I'll give her my brand

[00:00:34] Well I was up on Stony Ridge after this chestnut mare

[00:00:39] I'd been chasin' her for weeks

[00:00:42] Oh I'd catch a glimpse of her every once in a while

[00:00:46] Takin' her meal or bathin

[00:00:48] A fine lady

[00:00:51] This one day I happened to be real close to her

[00:00:54] I saw her standin' over there

[00:00:56] So I snuck up to her nice and easy

[00:01:00] And I got my rope out

[00:01:03] And I flung it in the air

[00:01:07] I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can

[00:01:14] And when I do I'll give her my brand

[00:01:22] And we'll be friends for life

[00:01:26] She'll be just like a wife

[00:01:30] I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can

[00:01:37] Well I got her and I'm pullin' on her she's pullin' back

[00:01:40] Like a mule goin' up a ladder

[00:01:46] I take this chance and I jump up on her

[00:01:50] Damned if I don't land right on top of her

[00:01:52] Well she takes off runnin' up on to that ridge

[00:01:57] Higher than I've ever been before

[00:02:00] She's runnin' along just fine till she stops

[00:02:04] Something spooked her

[00:02:06] It's a sidewinder all coiled and ready to strike

[00:02:11] She doesn't know what to do for a second

[00:02:13] But then she jumps off the edge

[00:02:16] Me holding on

[00:02:18] Above the clouds

[00:02:20] Higher than eagles were gliding

[00:02:25] Suspended in the sky

[00:02:31] Over the moon

[00:02:34] Straight for the sun we were riding

[00:02:38] My eyes were filled with light

[00:02:44] Behind us black walls

[00:02:47] Below us a bottomless canyon

[00:02:53] Floating with no sound

[00:02:59] Gulls far below

[00:03:01] Seemed to be suddenly rising

[00:03:06] Exploding all around

[00:03:14] I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can

[00:03:21] And when I do I'll give her my brand

[00:03:29] And we'll be friends for life

[00:03:33] She'll be just like a wife

[00:03:37] I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can

[00:03:45] And we were falling down this crevice about a mile down I'd say

[00:03:51] I look down and I see this red thing below us

[00:03:54] Comin' up real fast and it's our reflection in a little pool of water

[00:03:58] About six feet wide and one foot deep

[00:04:02] Crawling down right through it

[00:04:05] We hit and we splashed it dry

[00:04:08] That's when I lost my hold and she got away

[00:04:12] But I'm gonna' try to get her again some day

[00:04:16] I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can

[00:04:24] And when I do I'll give her my brand

[00:04:32] And we'll be friends for life

[00:04:35] She'll be just like a wife

[00:04:39] I'm gonna' catch that horse

[00:04:43] I'm gonna' catch that horse

[00:04:47] I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can

[00:04:55] I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can
