lyrics

Ni’-ka me-si’-ka klat’-a-wa nan-itsh Pancho
Ni’-ka me-si’-ka klat’-a-wa nan-itsh Pancho
Ni’-ka me-si’-ka klat’-a-wa nan-itsh Pancho

When I was young I dreamed of riding Pancho
But mama said that stallion was too wild
He was for a man to ride but not right for a child

Pancho was a palomino, beautiful in stride
Some say he was the finest horse in all the countryside
On cue he'd whinny and rear just like trigger

Uncle Fred could whistle up a horse that strayed out from the herd
The sound of his whistle through the trees was good as any bird's
Sometimes he'd call in the old jargon tongue

Ni’-ka me-si’-ka klat’-a-wa nan-itsh Pancho
Ni’-ka me-si’-ka klat’-a-wa nan-itsh Pancho
Why don't you and me, we go and take a look at Pancho

When Uncle Fred would go and saddle Pancho
And feed out oats and hay, he'd look at me and say
"Why don't you and me, we go and take a look at Pancho"

Ni’-ka me-si’-ka klat’-a-wa nan-itsh Pancho
He'd say Ni’-ka me-si’-ka klat’-a-wa nan-itsh Pancho
Why don't you and me, we go and take a look at Pancho

Chah-ko nu-ha, chako klat’-a-wa nu-ha
Chah-ko nu-ha, chako klat’-a-wa nu-ha
And Pancho'd come a-racing across the field
Chah-ko nu-ha, chako klat’-a-wa nu-ha
Chah-ko nu-ha, chako klat’-a-wa nu-ha
And Pancho'd come a-racing across the field

Ni’-ka me-si’-ka klat’-a-wa nan-itsh Pancho
He'd say Ni’-ka me-si’-ka klat’-a-wa nan-itsh Pancho
And Pancho'd come a-racing across the field
And Pancho'd come a-racing across the field
"..."Ni’-ka me-si’-ka klat’-a-wa nan-itsh Pancho..."
