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


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 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

CHORUS


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

CHORUS
