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 Chorus 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
