About

“Caballo Diablo” is a ballad about a stallion, Caballo Diablo, and the man who is determined to conquer him. Like many of LeDoux’s songs, his love and respect for horses bleeds through in the lyrics and execution of the song, and the listener is left in awe of the power of the titular horse.

Caballo Diablo Lyrics

[Verse 1: Chris LeDoux]
Wild as a coastal barronca
Swift as the wind blowin' free
With two eyes like fire brands that glow in the night
Somewhere up there, he's waiting for me
He knows that I'm comin' for him
And 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

[Chorus: Chris LeDoux]
They call him "Caballo Diablo"
Half horse, half devil, they say
Caballo Diablo the outlaw
Up atop of Sierra Madre

[Verse 2: Chris LeDoux & Charlie Daniels]
Two men before tried to take him
And 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

Well, I may be half man, but the other half's devil
And you're just exactly like me

[Chorus: Charlie Daniels]
They call him "Caballo Diablo"
Half horse an' half devil, they say
Caballo Diablo the outlaw
Up atop of Sierra Madre

[Verse 3: Charlie Daniels, spoken]
Even the breeze has stopped moving
Hush now, be still
Don't make a sound and stay close to the ground
'Cause he's waiting just over the hill
Downwind behind me, move quickly
Do it fast, now, he's starting to stir
Grab a handful of mane and up onto his back
And start rakin' him down with your spurs

[Verse 4: Chris LeDoux]
But try as he will, he can't shake me
As over the precipice we go
To spill the life-blood of a horse and a man
On the rocky Sierra below

[Chorus: Chris LeDoux]
They call him "Caballo Diablo"
Half horse, half devil, they say
Caballo Diablo the outlaw
Up atop of Sierra Madre
