Wild as a coastal barranca, swift as the wind blowin?ree
With two eyes like fire brands that glow in the night
Somewhere up there he?waitin?or me
And he knows that I?comin?or him, And I just can?rest ?il I find
That raven black stallion that wears no man?brand
with a wild restless spirit like mine
Chorus
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 flashin?lack hooves
brought death ?eath the Mexican sun
Still I can?leave, I must find him, You fool of a horse can?you
see?
I may be half man, but the other half?devil, And you? just exactly
like me
Even the breeze has stopped movin?ll hush now, be still,
Don?make a sound stay close to the ground
?uz he?waitin?ust over that hill
Down wind behind him move quickly, do it fast now, he?startin?o stir
Grab a handful of mane, then up on to his back,
And start rakin?im down with my spurs
But try as he will he can?shake me as over the precipice we go
To shed the life blood of a horse and a man on the rocky sierra below
Chorus
