Don Edwards - Pecos River Queen lyrics

Where the Pecos River winds and turns in its journey to the sea From its white walls of sand and rock striving ever to be free Near the highest railroad bridge that all these modern times have seen Dwells fair young Patty Morehead, the Pecos River queen She's known by every cowboy on the Pecos River wide They know full well that she can shoot, she can rope and ride She goes to every round-up, every cow work without fail Looking out for all her cattle, branded "Walking hog on rail" She made her start in cattle, she made it with her rope She can tie down every maverick 'fore it can strike a lope She can rope and tie and brand it as quick as any man She's voted by all the cowboys an A-1 top cow hand Across the Comstock railroad bridge, the highest in the West Patty rode her horse one day, a lover's heart to test For he told her he would gladly risk all dangers for her sake But the puncher wouldn't follow, she's still without a mate Where the Pecos River winds and turns in its journey to the sea From its white walls of sand and rock striving ever to be free Near the highest railroad bridge that all these modern times have seen Dwells fair young Patty Morehead, the Pecos River queen
