| | Chestnut Mare Lyrics Artist(Band):The Byrds
Always alone never with a herd Prettiest mare I've ever seen You'll have to take my word I'm gonna' 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 I'd been chasin' her for weeks Oh, I'd catch a glimpse of her every once in a while Takin' her meal, or bathin A fine lady This one day I happened to be real close to her I saw her standin' over there So I snuck up to her nice and easy And I got my rope out And I flung it in the air I'm gonna' 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 gonna' catch that horse if I can Well I got her, and I'm pullin' on her, she's pullin' back like a mule goin' up a ladder I take this chance and I jump up on her Damned if I don't land right on top of her Well she takes off, runnin' up on to that ridge Higher than I've ever been before She's runnin' along just fine, till she stops 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 clouds Higher than eagles were gliding Suspended in the sky Over the moon Straight for the sun we were riding My eyes were filled with light Behind us black walls Below us a bottomless canyon Floating with no sound Gulls far below Seemed to be suddenly rising Exploding all around I'm gonna' 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 gonna' catch that horse if I can And we were falling down this crevice, about a mile down I'd say! I look down and I see this red thing below us Comin' up real fast and it's our reflection in a little pool of water About six feet wide, and one foot deep Crawling down right through it We hit and we splashed it dry That's when I lost my hold and she got away But I'm gonna' try to get her again some day I'm gonna' 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 gonna' catch that horse I'm gonna' catch that horse I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can If you find some error in Chestnut Mare Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about Chestnut Mare why?! | Reviewer: Nobody Special | 2/26/2008 I grew up digging the Byrds' folk-rock, and their covers of Dylan were ace, but what is THIS? the chorus itself is bad enough but this song is way too long to say way too little (apart from: this guy better not live where bestiality is illegal, until he decides whether he wants to ride that horse or - ahem - 'ride' it). hmmm .... if a mule is the offspring of a mare and a donkey, what do you call the offspring of a mare and a byrd? I know a proper review means I should look closer at the lyrics and the song structure and what-not, but when I actually think of the words --! this song gives a bad name to 'drug-music'.
