B F#7 B
You look at the picture with a wondering eye
F#7 B
And then at the arrow that's hanging close by
E B
Say tell a story as there's one I know
F#7 B
Of a horse I once owned down in New Mexico
F#7 B
He was swift as an antelope and black as a crow
F#7 B
With a star on his forehead as white as the snow
E B
His arched neck was hidden by a long flowing mane
F#7 B
And they called him Patanio the pride of the plains
F#7 B
The country was new then the settlers were scarce
F#7 B
The Indians on the warpath were savage and fierce
E B
Scouts were sent out everyday from the post
F#7 B
But they never came back so we knew they were lost
F#7 B
One day the Captain said someone must go
F#7 B
For help to the border of New Mexico
E B
G# dozen brave fellows straight way answered here
F#7 B
But the Captain he spied me and said son come here
F#7 B
Patanio beside me his nose in my hand
F#7 B
Said the captain your horse is the best in the land
E B
You're good for this ride you're the lightest man here
F#7 B
On the back of that mustang you've nothing to fear
F#7 B
I'm proud of my horse sir I answered you know
F#7 B
Patanio and I are both willing to go
E B
They all shook my hand as I mounted the black
F#7 B
Patanio sped forward and I gave him his slack
F#7 B
For eighty long miles over the plains we must go
F#7 B
For help to the border of New Mexico
E B
The black struck a trot and he kept it all night
F#7 B
Till just as the east was beginning to light
F#7 B
When back from behind me there came a fierce yell
F#7 B
We knew that the redskins were hot on our trail
E B
I rose up and jingled the bells on his rein
F#7 B
And I stoked his neck softly and I called him by name
F#7 B
He answered my touch with a toss of his head
F#7 B
And his black body lengthened as onward he sped
E B
The arrows fell round me like showers of rain
F#7 B
When in my left leg oh I felt a sharp pain
F#7 B
The red blood was flowing from Patanio's side
F#7 B
But he never once shortened his powerful stride
E B
Patanio poor fellow I knew he was hurt
F#7 B
But still he dashed onward and on to the fort
F#7 B
By good care Patanio and I were soon well
F#7 B
Of his death long years after it hurts me to tell
E B
They write songs about him the cowboys still sing
F#7 B
The legend lives on of his long flowing mane
F#7 B
So look at the arrow that hangs on the wall
F#7 B
It was shot through my leg boot stirrup and all
E B
On many fine horses I've since drawn the reins
F#7 B
But none like Patanio the pride of the plains
