Michael Martin Murphey's WILDFIRE - Classic 1975 - Slideshow Tribute

Wildfire song. Slideshow of wild horses, mustangs in winter snow mountains. Stallions running through the prairies. Herd with mare and colt galloping together. Song from country singer Michael Martin Murphey. Lyrics:

She comes down from Yellow Mountain
On a dark, flat land she rides
On a pony she named Wildfire
With a whirlwind by her side
On a cold Nebraska night

Oh, they say she died one winter
When there came a killing frost
And the pony she named Wildfire
Busted down it's stall
In a blizzard he was lost

She ran calling Wildfire
She ran calling Wildfire
She ran calling Wildfire

By the dark of the moon I planted
But there came an early snow
There's been a hoot-owl howling by my window now
For six nights in a row
She's coming for me, I know
And on Wildfire we're both gonna go

We'll be riding Wildfire
We'll be riding Wildfire
We'll be riding Wildfire

On Wildfire we're gonna ride
Gonna leave sodbustin' behind
Get these hard times right on out of our minds
Riding Wildfire

Finally the best rendition of the original classic song! All the others are recorded too loudly. This one is perfect! Thanks so much! The vidoe is good too. Now on my favs!

Awesome pics and transition from one to another, not to mention panning across them giving them more scope. I would love to learn how to do that, thanks very much.

I've got a black 1970 Mustang I've owned since 1977. I've been asked many times over the years if I'd given it a nickname to which I'd always say "No - it's a horse with no name" alluding to the song by America. So many I've loved have travelled in it with me - some now passed from this life. It's only taken a quarter a century, & as a songwriter the answer was always so close I couldn't see it - but this week I finally decided to name it Wildfire - my ghost horse and I on lifes road...
