You look at the picture with a wondering eye
B7 E
And then at the arrow that's hanging close by
A E
Say tell a story as there's one I know
B7 E
Of a horse I once owned down in New Mexico
B7 E
He was swift as an antelope and black as a crow
B7 E
With a star on his forehead as white as the snow
A E
His arched neck was hidden by a long flowing mane
B7 E
And they called him Patanio the pride of the plains
B7 E
The country was new then the settlers were scarce
B7 E
The Indians on the warpath were savage and fierce
A E
Scouts were sent out everyday from the post
B7 E
But they never came back so we knew they were lost
B7 E
One day the Captain said someone must go
B7 E
For help to the border of New Mexico
A E
C# dozen brave fellows straight way answered here
B7 E
But the Captain he spied me and said son come here
B7 E
Patanio beside me his nose in my hand
B7 E
Said the captain your horse is the best in the land
A E
You're good for this ride you're the lightest man here
B7 E
On the back of that mustang you've nothing to fear
B7 E
I'm proud of my horse sir I answered you know
B7 E
Patanio and I are both willing to go
A E
They all shook my hand as I mounted the black
B7 E
Patanio sped forward and I gave him his slack
B7 E
For eighty long miles over the plains we must go
B7 E
For help to the border of New Mexico
A E
The black struck a trot and he kept it all night
B7 E
Till just as the east was beginning to light
B7 E
When back from behind me there came a fierce yell
B7 E
We knew that the redskins were hot on our trail
A E
I rose up and jingled the bells on his rein
B7 E
And I stoked his neck softly and I called him by name
B7 E
He answered my touch with a toss of his head
B7 E
And his black body lengthened as onward he sped
A E
The arrows fell round me like showers of rain
B7 E
When in my left leg oh I felt a sharp pain
B7 E
The red blood was flowing from Patanio's side
B7 E
But he never once shortened his powerful stride
A E
Patanio poor fellow I knew he was hurt
B7 E
But still he dashed onward and on to the fort
B7 E
By good care Patanio and I were soon well
B7 E
Of his death long years after it hurts me to tell
A E
They write songs about him the cowboys still sing
B7 E
The legend lives on of his long flowing mane
B7 E
So look at the arrow that hangs on the wall
B7 E
It was shot through my leg boot stirrup and all
A E
On many fine horses I've since drawn the reins
B7 E
But none like Patanio the pride of the plains
