G D7 G
You look at the picture with a wondering eye
D7 G
And then at the arrow that's hanging close by
C G
Say tell a story as there's one I know
D7 G
Of a horse I once owned down in New Mexico
D7 G
He was swift as an antelope and black as a crow
D7 G
With a star on his forehead as white as the snow
C G
His arched neck was hidden by a long flowing mane
D7 G
And they called him Patanio the pride of the plains
D7 G
The country was new then the settlers were scarce
D7 G
The Indians on the warpath were savage and fierce
C G
Scouts were sent out everyday from the post
D7 G
But they never came back so we knew they were lost
D7 G
One day the Captain said someone must go
D7 G
For help to the border of New Mexico
C G
E dozen brave fellows straight way answered here
D7 G
But the Captain he spied me and said son come here
D7 G
Patanio beside me his nose in my hand
D7 G
Said the captain your horse is the best in the land
C G
You're good for this ride you're the lightest man here
D7 G
On the back of that mustang you've nothing to fear
D7 G
I'm proud of my horse sir I answered you know
D7 G
Patanio and I are both willing to go
C G
They all shook my hand as I mounted the black
D7 G
Patanio sped forward and I gave him his slack
D7 G
For eighty long miles over the plains we must go
D7 G
For help to the border of New Mexico
C G
The black struck a trot and he kept it all night
D7 G
Till just as the east was beginning to light
D7 G
When back from behind me there came a fierce yell
D7 G
We knew that the redskins were hot on our trail
C G
I rose up and jingled the bells on his rein
D7 G
And I stoked his neck softly and I called him by name
D7 G
He answered my touch with a toss of his head
D7 G
And his black body lengthened as onward he sped
C G
The arrows fell round me like showers of rain
D7 G
When in my left leg oh I felt a sharp pain
D7 G
The red blood was flowing from Patanio's side
D7 G
But he never once shortened his powerful stride
C G
Patanio poor fellow I knew he was hurt
D7 G
But still he dashed onward and on to the fort
D7 G
By good care Patanio and I were soon well
D7 G
Of his death long years after it hurts me to tell
C G
They write songs about him the cowboys still sing
D7 G
The legend lives on of his long flowing mane
D7 G
So look at the arrow that hangs on the wall
D7 G
It was shot through my leg boot stirrup and all
C G
On many fine horses I've since drawn the reins
D7 G
But none like Patanio the pride of the plains
