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
It's our reflection in a little pool of water
About six feet wide, and one foot deep
And we're comin' up real fast
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
