Caballo Diablo

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