Chris LeDoux - Caballo Diablo Lyrics






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
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...

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
They call him Caballo Diablo...

  14. B.... O....

    This is my dads horse song XD

  15. B.... H....

    I may not know how to ride "properly," and probably can't handle a dressage horse, but I'm not scared to ride any horse, and have been thrown and fallen off more times than I can count. Someday I'll meet my Caballo Diablo. :)

  16. W.... M....

  20. J.... J....

  21. T.... ....

    Anyone else like the smell of horse sweat on an old saddle?

    T.... ....

    Thomas it the best smell

    T.... ....

    Throw in the smell of a little fresh hay and I think you've got the smell of Heaven.

    T.... ....

    heck yeh, ad the smell of gunsmoke and dust, then if I never make it to heaven I will have been close

    T.... ....

    I get to smell that every day...thankfully. Add a little desert heat, and the sound of a rifle.

  22. K.... K....

  25. C.... R....

    I wanna be a bull rider, and get so much crap for it because I'm female, but I'm going to live my dreams of rodeo. Thanks to Chris Ledoux.

    C.... R....

    Country rebel go for yo dreams forget the crap and step into the world you want

    C.... R....

    Go for your dreams beautiful

    C.... R....

    @Boden Barrett amen

    C.... R....

    Follow your dreams if you don't you will regret it

    C.... R....

    rodeo is from men not women!!!

  26. S.... ....

    this is a sad song

  27. A.... G....

    @jackschitz get a life. Good for you D3 Fonteno. Chris would be proud. It's a helluva lifestyle.

  28. A.... G....

    I love a rank horse! It's my drive!

  29. D.... F....

    guess what I made 1st place and the first one in my age group to ride that bucking horse I feel good I need a name for myself what should I have people call buts it's a name I'll have earn I want to be just like old bareback Jack

    D.... F....

    Your first rodeo and 1st place?

    D.... F....

    D3 Fonteno don't forget bareback jack ended up crippled cause he was too cocky good job on the win!

  30. D.... F....

    people in the are calling me crazy because I'm riding the most meanest outlaw of a bronc in the arena I'm looking forward to it thanks

    D.... F....

    @D3 Fonteno ok cowboy.

    D.... F....

    D3 Fonteno your a disgrace to people like me who actually ride a real cowboy doesn't talk about fear

    D.... F....

    Well I don;t know too many cowboys that wear a hoodie or have an avatar with someone wearing one. How did you get the meanest "outlaw" bronc? How did you know you would draw that horse and then reply to this post?

    D.... F....

    Your no bronc rider you upload gaming videos stop trying to put on an act no one thanks its funny

    D.... F....

    Your all full of shit what stock have you been on and what contractor hauled them in lmao

  31. D.... F....

    I'm nervous for my first rodeo I'm only 12 I'm listening to this song over and over but not working well Chris is the reason i do rodeos I've even lost all my friends because they say country ducks and why would you want to be in a rodeo but who cares about them rodeos my life and nobody stands in my way

    D.... F....

    D3 Fonteno Youl be fine just stay in the middle J T Old Hand.

    D.... F....

    Hey dude, just remember: no matter what anyone says, never let them stop you from following your dreams! Its your life, you choose how to live it!

    D.... F....

    Kidlet, don't let anyone force you from you dreams. I was where I wanted to be (and most of my friends would have killed to be), but I did what others wanted me to do and I am regretting it 25 years later. Anything worth having is gonna cost you something, be it friends (who aren't really friends if they don't support you), family (if they can't see where you really need to be) or others (who aren't up to the task). It's gonna hurt, but the only thing that matters is if you are happy doing what you do.

    D.... F....

    I wish you well. I don’t mean to scare you but I got on a bull for the first time and he threw me up in the air. Brocs are more predictable

    D.... F....

    one could ask who would put out to sea when ever one knows world is flat


    Why would any one try to fly an aircraft across the Alatanic


    Why would any one take on a job, dream or change like Tesla, or all those who cross the US by wagon

  32. t.... v....

    flying u rodeo and seen him in concert 4 times

  33. M.... O....

    Why can't I comment to king Fernando??? Anyhow...so jefe what part of your Texas history class taught you about fictional song sung by a man what's born in Mississippi and died in Wyoming??

    M.... O....

    +Michael ONeale yes he was born in Mississippi and he has a song about it to and died in wyoming

  34. r.... ....

    Chris your voice is true. Country music now days should take a few lessons from you. There's one less saddle in the barn but one more cowboy in heaven.

  35. A.... M....

    Covering Charlie Daniels, Can't think of anyone who could cover this song and it still be good.

    A.... M....

    +Adrian Miller Unfortunately, Marty Robbins is no longer with us. I believe he could make us set back and listen.

    A.... M....

    I stand corrected. I didn't think of Marty Robbins but you are absolutely right.

  36. J.... H....

    I love this song so much as well as this cowboys hat

  37. E.... R....

    Chris Ledoux is by by far the best singer...! All his songs are of experience, hes handy and true! My dad rode broncs with him! RIP Chris!  

  38. A.... W....

    My parents have met Mrs.Ledoux

  39. C.... R....

  43. T.... ....

  44. A.... M....

  45. J.... N....
