Caballo Diablo Lyrics by Charlie Daniels

Fire On the Mountain

0

[Verse 1]
Wild as a coastal boranca, 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
I just can't rest until I find
That raven black stallion, who wears no man's brand
With a wild restless spirit like mine
[Chorus]
They call him Caballo Diablo
Half horse and half devil they say
Caballo Diablo the outlaw
Of the blanca Sierra Madre
[Verse 2]
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 beneath 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
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Even the breeze has stopped moving
Hush now - be still
Don't make a sound and stay close to the ground
Cause he's waiting just over that hill
Downwind behind him move quickly
Do it fast now, he's starting 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 life's blood of a horse and a man
On the rocky Sierra below
[Chorus]
