Caballo Diablo - Charlie Daniels

Wild as a coastal barronca swift as the wind blowing free

With two eyes like fire brands that glow in the night

Somewhere up there he’s waiting for me And he knows that I’m coming' for him and I just can’t rest till I find

That raven black stallion that wears no man’s brand with a wild restless spirit

like mine

They call him Caballo Diablo half-horse half-devil they say

Caballo Diablo the outlaw up a top the Sierra Madre

Two men before tried to take him they had their chance one by one

But each met his fate when those flashing' 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

Well I may be half man but the other half’s devil and you’re just exactly like

me They call him Caballo Diablo…

Even the breezes stopped moving hush now be still

Don’t make a sound stay close to the ground cause he’s waitin' just over that

hill

Downwind behind him move quickly do it fast now he’s starting to stir

Grab a handful of mane and up on to his back

And start raking him down with your spurs

But try as he will he can’t shake me as over the precipice we go To she’d the life blood of a horse and a man on the rocky sierra below

They call him Caballo Diablo…
