Chris Ledoux Caballo Diablo Lyrics

Caballo Diablo Lyrics

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 shed the life blood of a horse and a man on the rocky sierra below



They call him Caballo Diablo...
