Lyrics
Don't go out there
She's dead and gone
The rest of the horses are restless
Thundering feet on the ground
In the light of moon they'll run
In circles till dawn
The dust won't settle till morning
The white of their eyes will shine
In the tall bahia grass
She laid down and breathed her last
Took to the sky like Pegasus
And went home
Lay on down
You're free to go now
Spread your wings
Fly home Rosie
There's never a good time
For horses to die
Their bodies are too heavy
To heave them into a hole
She was a show girl from Atlanta
That never slowed down
Head held high on the dirt road
Foaming at the mouth
In the tall bahia grass
She laid down and breathed her last
Took to the sky like Pegasus
And went home
Lay on down
You're free to go now
Spread your wings
Fly home Rosie
