Black Diamond
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Black Diamond you were a friend of mine,
The first horse, that I ever owned.
I was just 13 at the time,
He was Black as the inside of a coal mine.
And fast, fast as the wind.
Almost all of the time.
Whatever he did, he did with his whole heart,
And tireless as an ocean tide.
An old cowpony, he could turn on a dime.
Stay 12 inches from a chicken most anytime.
Cut one from the flock, oh what fun we had.
Till the chicken found relief underneath the barn.
A chicken's not a cow, most everyone knows.
but when a child is 13 she can dream.
Diamond's tongue was most cut in two by a spade bit
( twisted wire snaffle)
he'd fight you till the day he went to his grave.
But he let me ride because I was kind.
Black Diamond was a friend of mine.
He'd unlock his stall- and go for a stroll
but he'd always remember to shut and latch that door.
( He got caught shutting the door once.)
Most cowboys know you leave the gate the way it's found.
Diamond I think you're the smartest horse around.
People running to and fro across the land.
One day my time with Diamond was at an end.
Good bye to you I gotta move across the land.
And my time with Diamond was at an end.
Where can I find another horse?
That can fill my Diamond's shoes?
I buy and sell, another horse will never do.
Looking for who can fill Diamond's shoes?
Thirty years I search America through
When I met Sandman then my search was through.
Sandman, you're not Diamond, but you'll do.
A Morgan horse, Diamond that was you.
The Morgan horse, almost as clever as a man.
The Morgan horse, you never tire like my Diamond.
The Morgan horse, he will be your friend.
Or he will fight you till the end.
Will James had 3 special horses in a lifetime.
One was Big Enough, one was Smokey, a grey.
But for me, no other horse will equal Diamond.
Can another Morgan horse fill your shoes?
For me there will never be another Diamond.
Can another Morgan horse fill your shoes?
Can any other horse fill your shoes?
When I was 13 I rode a Diamond.
All my life...
I looked for another you.
