For years I have been singing "Mi Caballo Blanco" a wonderful rhythmic tune that I have been told was done by the Weavers. Unfortunately the guy who taught it to me only knew one verse. I would be deep in your debt if you could send me the words! Jonathan Kohrman [e-mail]

Es mi caballo blanco como un amanecer,
siempre juntitos vamos, es mi amigo mas fiel.

Mi caballo, mi caballo galopando va.
Mi caballo, mi caballo se va y se va.

En alas de una dicha mi caballo corri—,
y en brazos de una pena tambi*n el me llev—.

Mi caballo, mi caballo galopando va.
Mi caballo, mi caballo se va y se va.

Al taita Dios le pido y El lo sabe muy bien,
si me llama a su lado en mi blanquito yo ir*.

Mi caballo, mi caballo galopando va.
Mi caballo, mi caballo se va y se va.
