C. Daniels - Caballo Diablo lyrics
rate meWild as a coastal boranca<br />
Swift as the wind blowin' free<br />
With two eyes like fire brands that glow in the night<br />
Somewhere up there he's waitin' for me<br />
<br />
And he knows that I'm coming for him<br />
I just can't rest 'til I find<br />
That raven black stallion who wears no man's brand<br />
With a wild restless spirit like mine<br />
<br />
They call him Caballo Diablo<br />
Half horse and half devil they say<br />
Caballo Diablo the outlaw<br />
Of the blanca Sierra Madre<br />
<br />
Two men before tried to take him<br />
They had their chance one by one<br />
But each met his fate when those flashin' black hooves<br />
Brought death 'neath the Mexican sun<br />
<br />
Still I can't leave, I must find him<br />
You fool of a horse can't you see<br />
I may be half man, but the other half's devil<br />
And you're just exactly like me<br />
<br />
They call him Caballo Diablo<br />
Half horse and half devil they say<br />
Caballo Diablo the outlaw<br />
Of the blanca Sierra Madre<br />
<br />
Even the breeze has stopped movin'<br />
Hush now, be still<br />
Don't make a sound and stay close to the ground<br />
'Cause he's waitin' just over that hill<br />
<br />
Downwind behind him move quickly<br />
Do it fast now, he's startin' to stir<br />
Grab a hand full of mane and up onto his back<br />
And start breaking him down with my spurs<br />
<br />
But try as he will, he can't shake me<br />
As over the preface we go<br />
To spill the lifes blood of a horse and a man<br />
On the rocky Sierra below<br />
<br />
They call him Caballo Diablo<br />
Half horse and half devil they say<br />
Caballo Diablo the outlaw<br />
Of the blanca Sierra Madre
