You look at the picture with a wondering eye
A7 D
And then at the arrow that's hanging close by
G D
Say tell a story as there's one I know
A7 D
Of a horse I once owned down in New Mexico
A7 D
He was swift as an antelope and black as a crow
A7 D
With a star on his forehead as white as the snow
G D
His arched neck was hidden by a long flowing mane
A7 D
And they called him Patanio the pride of the plains
A7 D
The country was new then the settlers were scarce
A7 D
The Indians on the warpath were savage and fierce
G D
Scouts were sent out everyday from the post
A7 D
But they never came back so we knew they were lost
A7 D
One day the Captain said someone must go
A7 D
For help to the border of New Mexico
G D
B dozen brave fellows straight way answered here
A7 D
But the Captain he spied me and said son come here
A7 D
Patanio beside me his nose in my hand
A7 D
Said the captain your horse is the best in the land
G D
You're good for this ride you're the lightest man here
A7 D
On the back of that mustang you've nothing to fear
A7 D
I'm proud of my horse sir I answered you know
A7 D
Patanio and I are both willing to go
G D
They all shook my hand as I mounted the black
A7 D
Patanio sped forward and I gave him his slack
A7 D
For eighty long miles over the plains we must go
A7 D
For help to the border of New Mexico
G D
The black struck a trot and he kept it all night
A7 D
Till just as the east was beginning to light
A7 D
When back from behind me there came a fierce yell
A7 D
We knew that the redskins were hot on our trail
G D
I rose up and jingled the bells on his rein
A7 D
And I stoked his neck softly and I called him by name
A7 D
He answered my touch with a toss of his head
A7 D
And his black body lengthened as onward he sped
G D
The arrows fell round me like showers of rain
A7 D
When in my left leg oh I felt a sharp pain
A7 D
The red blood was flowing from Patanio's side
A7 D
But he never once shortened his powerful stride
G D
Patanio poor fellow I knew he was hurt
A7 D
But still he dashed onward and on to the fort
A7 D
By good care Patanio and I were soon well
A7 D
Of his death long years after it hurts me to tell
G D
They write songs about him the cowboys still sing
A7 D
The legend lives on of his long flowing mane
A7 D
So look at the arrow that hangs on the wall
A7 D
It was shot through my leg boot stirrup and all
G D
On many fine horses I've since drawn the reins
A7 D
But none like Patanio the pride of the plains
