She rears her head as I approach Her nostrils flared with fear Her eyes are wide, her mane is flying She's pinning back her ears And she won't come to me She won't come to me She won't come to anyone Who's frightened to be free She stiffens and she shivers and She wheels and lopes away Across the unfenced sections I won't catch that mare today So as I roam the prairies for A chance to try again
Behind me through the gra**es drag The braided leather reins And she won't come to me She won't come to me She won't come to anyone Who's frightened to be free She's broken well, her gait is sound She'll pack a man all day She's cowy and her mouth is good She'll pen your restless strays And she won't come to me She won't come to me She won't come to anyone Who's frightened to be free
