Caballo Diablo Lyrics - Singles - Charlie Daniels Band

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 

They call him Caballo Diablo 

Half horse and half devil they say 

Caballo Diablo the outlaw 

Of the blanca Sierra Madre 

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 

They call him Caballo Diablo 

Half horse and half devil they say 

Caballo Diablo the outlaw 

Of the blanca Sierra Madre
