McAuliffe - Bobby Gregory Recorded by Hawkshaw Hawkins You look at this picture with a wondering eye And then at the arrow that hangs by it's side They tell a story for you know there is one With the name of Patanio the story begun I'll tell you a story that will thrill you, I know Of a horse that I owned down in New Mexico Swift as an antelope and black as a crow A star on his forehead as white as the snow His hair like a lady was glossy and fine He was restless and proud but so gentle and kind His arched neck was hidden by a thick, flowing mane And they called him Patanio, the pride of the plains The country was new and the settlers were scarce And the Indians on the warpath were savage and fierce Scouts were sent out every day from the post But they never came back so we knew they were lost One day said the captain, someone he must go For help to the border at New Mexico A dozen brave fellows right away answered yeah But the captain he spied me a-standing right near Patanio beside me, his nose in my hand Said the captain, your horse is the best in the land You're good for the ride and the lightest man here On the back of that mustang you've nothing to fear So proud of my horse that I answered, you know Patanio and I both so willing to go For speed and endurance I'll trust to the blind Patanio will carry my life on his back Then they all took my hand and I mounted my horse Rode down the dark pathway and I turned his head horth Pat struck a trot and he kept it all night Till just as the east was beginning to light He answered the touch with a toss of his head His black body lengthened and forward he sped We were beating the redskins and the story was plain When the arrows fell round us like showers of rain We were leaving the redskins and the story was plain When sudden in my leg that I felt a great pain The blood it gushed forth from Patanio's side But he never once shortened his powerful stride Patanio, poor fellow, I knew he was hurt But still he dashed forward and into the fort For many a fine horse I have passed on the range But none like Patanio the pride of the plain Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Put Your Arms Around Me, Queen of Draw Poker Town, Reindeer Boogie, Return To Me, Rhumba Boogie, Ribbon Of Darkness, Rich Man Am I, Roll Along Kentucky Moon, Rose Of Old Monterey, Rose of the Rio, Roses In The Snow, Rudolph, The Red Nosed Reindeer, Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer, Runt, Scale to Measure Love, Seasons, Send Me The Pillow That You Dream On, Senorita Rosalita, She Even Woke Me Up To Say Goodbye, She Was Happy Till She Met You, She Wears My Ring, Shopworn, Silent Night, Silver Rails, Sing Me A Song Of The Islands, Singing The Blues, Six Days On The Road, Six String Tennessee Flat Top, Six-String Tennessee Flat Top, Snowbird, So Good To Be Back With You, Someone Mentioned Your Name, Somewhere My Love, Sonny Boy, Southbound, Southern Cannonball, Spanish Fireball, Spell Of The Yukon, Springtime In The Rockies, Star Spangled Waltz, Stolen Moments, Streamlined Cannonball, Sunday Morning Coming Down, Sunny Side of the Mountain, Sweet Dreams, Sweet Hour Of Prayer, Sweet Marie, Tammy, Tangled Mind, Tb Blues, Other Hank Snow song Lyrics (seashores Of) Old Mexico Lyrics 90 Miles An Hour Lyrics 90 Miles An Hour (Down A Dead End Street) Lyrics A Daisy Day Lyrics A Good Gal Is Good To Find Lyrics A Letter To Santa Claus Lyrics A Little Box Of Pine On The 729 Lyrics A Message From The Trade Winds Lyrics A Scale To Measure Love Lyrics Act 1, Act 2, Act 3 Lyrics Address Unknown Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Hank The Knife The Jets Lyrics Hank Thompson Lyrics Hank Williams Lyrics Hank Williams III Lyrics Hank Williams Jr. Lyrics Hank Williams Sr. Lyrics Hankey Mr Lyrics Hanna Berglund Lyrics Hanna Pakarinen Lyrics Hannah Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
