You look at the picture with a wondering eye
C7 F
And then at the arrow that's hanging close by
A# F
Say tell a story as there's one I know
C7 F
Of a horse I once owned down in New Mexico
C7 F
He was swift as an antelope and black as a crow
C7 F
With a star on his forehead as white as the snow
A# F
His arched neck was hidden by a long flowing mane
C7 F
And they called him Patanio the pride of the plains
C7 F
The country was new then the settlers were scarce
C7 F
The Indians on the warpath were savage and fierce
A# F
Scouts were sent out everyday from the post
C7 F
But they never came back so we knew they were lost
C7 F
One day the Captain said someone must go
C7 F
For help to the border of New Mexico
A# F
D dozen brave fellows straight way answered here
C7 F
But the Captain he spied me and said son come here
C7 F
Patanio beside me his nose in my hand
C7 F
Said the captain your horse is the best in the land
A# F
You're good for this ride you're the lightest man here
C7 F
On the back of that mustang you've nothing to fear
C7 F
I'm proud of my horse sir I answered you know
C7 F
Patanio and I are both willing to go
A# F
They all shook my hand as I mounted the black
C7 F
Patanio sped forward and I gave him his slack
C7 F
For eighty long miles over the plains we must go
C7 F
For help to the border of New Mexico
A# F
The black struck a trot and he kept it all night
C7 F
Till just as the east was beginning to light
C7 F
When back from behind me there came a fierce yell
C7 F
We knew that the redskins were hot on our trail
A# F
I rose up and jingled the bells on his rein
C7 F
And I stoked his neck softly and I called him by name
C7 F
He answered my touch with a toss of his head
C7 F
And his black body lengthened as onward he sped
A# F
The arrows fell round me like showers of rain
C7 F
When in my left leg oh I felt a sharp pain
C7 F
The red blood was flowing from Patanio's side
C7 F
But he never once shortened his powerful stride
A# F
Patanio poor fellow I knew he was hurt
C7 F
But still he dashed onward and on to the fort
C7 F
By good care Patanio and I were soon well
C7 F
Of his death long years after it hurts me to tell
A# F
They write songs about him the cowboys still sing
C7 F
The legend lives on of his long flowing mane
C7 F
So look at the arrow that hangs on the wall
C7 F
It was shot through my leg boot stirrup and all
A# F
On many fine horses I've since drawn the reins
C7 F
But none like Patanio the pride of the plains
