Lyrics

"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
 ♪
 (refrain)
 ♪
 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
 (refrain)
