A# F7 A#
You look at the picture with a wondering eye
F7 A#
And then at the arrow that's hanging close by
D# A#
Say tell a story as there's one I know
F7 A#
Of a horse I once owned down in New Mexico
F7 A#
He was swift as an antelope and black as a crow
F7 A#
With a star on his forehead as white as the snow
D# A#
His arched neck was hidden by a long flowing mane
F7 A#
And they called him Patanio the pride of the plains
F7 A#
The country was new then the settlers were scarce
F7 A#
The Indians on the warpath were savage and fierce
D# A#
Scouts were sent out everyday from the post
F7 A#
But they never came back so we knew they were lost
F7 A#
One day the Captain said someone must go
F7 A#
For help to the border of New Mexico
D# A#
G dozen brave fellows straight way answered here
F7 A#
But the Captain he spied me and said son come here
F7 A#
Patanio beside me his nose in my hand
F7 A#
Said the captain your horse is the best in the land
D# A#
You're good for this ride you're the lightest man here
F7 A#
On the back of that mustang you've nothing to fear
F7 A#
I'm proud of my horse sir I answered you know
F7 A#
Patanio and I are both willing to go
D# A#
They all shook my hand as I mounted the black
F7 A#
Patanio sped forward and I gave him his slack
F7 A#
For eighty long miles over the plains we must go
F7 A#
For help to the border of New Mexico
D# A#
The black struck a trot and he kept it all night
F7 A#
Till just as the east was beginning to light
F7 A#
When back from behind me there came a fierce yell
F7 A#
We knew that the redskins were hot on our trail
D# A#
I rose up and jingled the bells on his rein
F7 A#
And I stoked his neck softly and I called him by name
F7 A#
He answered my touch with a toss of his head
F7 A#
And his black body lengthened as onward he sped
D# A#
The arrows fell round me like showers of rain
F7 A#
When in my left leg oh I felt a sharp pain
F7 A#
The red blood was flowing from Patanio's side
F7 A#
But he never once shortened his powerful stride
D# A#
Patanio poor fellow I knew he was hurt
F7 A#
But still he dashed onward and on to the fort
F7 A#
By good care Patanio and I were soon well
F7 A#
Of his death long years after it hurts me to tell
D# A#
They write songs about him the cowboys still sing
F7 A#
The legend lives on of his long flowing mane
F7 A#
So look at the arrow that hangs on the wall
F7 A#
It was shot through my leg boot stirrup and all
D# A#
On many fine horses I've since drawn the reins
F7 A#
But none like Patanio the pride of the plains
