<p class="tit-song">THE PECOS QUEEN <span class="pagenum"><SPAN id="page369" name="page369"></SPAN>(p. 369)</span></p>
<p>Where the Pecos River winds and turns in its journey to the sea,<br/>
From its white walls of sand and rock striving ever to be free,<br/>
Near the highest railroad bridge that all these modern times have seen,<br/>
Dwells fair young Patty Morehead, the Pecos River queen.</p>
<p>She is known by every cowboy on the Pecos River wide,<br/>
They know full well that she can shoot, that she can rope and ride.<br/>
She goes to every round-up, every cow work without fail,<br/>
Looking out for her cattle, branded "walking hog on rail."</p>
<p>She made her start in cattle, yes, made it with her rope;<br/>
Can tie down every maverick before it can strike a lope.<br/>
She can rope and tie and brand it as quick as any man;<br/>
She's voted by all cowboys an A-1 top cow hand.</p>
<p>Across <span class="pagenum"><SPAN id="page370" name="page370"></SPAN>(p. 370)</span> the Comstock railroad bridge, the highest in the West,<br/>
Patty rode her horse one day, a lover's heart to test;<br/>
For he told her he would gladly risk all dangers for her sake—<br/>
But the puncher wouldn't follow, so she's still without a mate.</p>
