《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

[00:00:25] And when I do I'll give her my brand

[00:00:33] 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

[00:00:45] 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

[00:00:53] 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

[00:01:13] 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 she's pullin' back

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

[00:01:45] I take this chance and I jump up on her

[00:01:48] Damned if I don't land right on top of her

[00:01:51] Well she takes off runnin' up on to that ridge

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

[00:01:59] She's runnin' along just fine till she stops

[00:02:04] Something spooked her

[00:02:05] It's a sidewinder all coiled and ready to strike

[00:02:10] 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

[00:02:19] 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

[00:02:43] Behind us black walls

[00:02:46] Below us a bottomless canyon

[00:02:51] Floating with no sound

[00:02:57] Gulls far below

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

[00:03:04] Exploding all around

[00:03:12] I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can

[00:03:20] And when I do I'll give her my brand

[00:03:27] And we'll be friends for life

[00:03:31] She'll be just like a wife

[00:03:35] I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can

[00:03:43] And we were falling down this crevice about a mile down I'd say

[00:03:50] I look down and I see this red thing below us

[00:03:53] Comin' up real fast and it's our reflection in a little pool of water

[00:03:57] About six feet wide and one foot deep

[00:04:01] Crawling down right through it

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

[00:04:07] That's when I lost my hold and she got away

[00:04:10] But I'm gonna' try to get her again some day

[00:04:14] I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can

[00:04:22] And when I do I'll give her my brand

[00:04:30] And we'll be friends for life

[00:04:34] She'll be just like a wife

[00:04:37] I'm gonna' catch that horse

[00:04:41] I'm gonna' catch that horse

[00:04:45] I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can

[00:04:53] I'm gonna' catch that horse if I can
