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 who wears no man's brand   With a wild restless spirit like mine      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      They call him Caballo Diablo   Half-horse and half-devil they say   Caballo Diablo the outlaw   Up a top the Sierra Madre      Even the breezes stopped moving   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 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 spell the life blood of a horse and a man   On the rocky Sierra below      They call him Caballo Diablo   Half-horse, half-devil they say   Caballo Diablo the outlaw   Up a top the Sierra Madre
