《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

[00:00:18] 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

[00:00:36] After this chestnut mare

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

[00:00:42] Oh I'd catch a glimpse

[00:00:42] Of her every once in a while

[00:00:45] Takin' her meal or bathin'

[00:00:48] A fine lady

[00:00:51] This one day I happened

[00:00:52] To be real close to her

[00:00:53] 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

[00:01:06] 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

[00:01:25] She'll be just like a wife

[00:01:29] I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can

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

[00:01:39] She's pullin' back

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

[00:01:45] I take this chance

[00:01:46] And I jump up on her

[00:01:49] Damned if I don't land

[00:01:50] Right on top of her

[00:01:52] Well she takes off

[00:01:54] Runnin' up on to that ridge

[00:01:56] Higher than I've ever been before

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

[00:02:03] Till she stops

[00:02:04] Something spooked her

[00:02:05] It's a sidewinder

[00:02:06] All coiled and ready to strike

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

[00:02:12] But then she jumps off the edge

[00:02:15] Me holding on

[00:02:17] Above the clouds

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

[00:02:24] Suspended in the sky

[00:02:30] Over the moon

[00:02:33] Straight for the sun we were riding

[00:02:37] My eyes were filled with light

[00:02:44] Behind us black walls

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

[00:02:52] Floating with no sound

[00:02:58] Gulls far below

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

[00:03:05] Exploding all around

[00:03:13] I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can

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

[00:03:28] And we'll be friends for life

[00:03:32] She'll be just like a wife

[00:03:36] I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can

[00:03:44] And we were falling down this crevice

[00:03:48] About a mile down I'd say

[00:03:51] I look down

[00:03:51] And I see this red thing below us

[00:03:54] Comin' up real fast

[00:03:55] And it's our reflection

[00:03:56] It's a little pool of water

[00:03:57] 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

[00:04:10] And she got away

[00:04:11] But I'm gonna' try

[00:04:12] To get her again some day

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

[00:04:23] And when I do I'll give her my brand

[00:04:31] 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

[00:04:46] I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can

[00:04:54] I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can
