Tom T. Hall Pinto the Wonder Horse is Dead Lyrics:
I read it in the paper just about a week ago It
was on the back page and not many people know Boy
it made me feel bad when I picked it up and read
Pinto the wonder horse is dead

Oh we rode the dusty trails together at the
Saturday morning picture show The dusty trails're
gone now but it hurts to hear it said Pinto the
wonder horse is dead

My memory goes back to when I was a little kid We
believed in everything that Pinto ever did Will
our kids have a hero half as brave or half as
strong Pinto the wonder horse is gone Oh we rode
the dusty trails together...

We believed that Pinto was the fastest horse alive
If he outrun the wind itself we never were
surprised In my childhood memory full of boys grow
into men Pinto the wonder rides again Oh we rode
the dusty trails together...
Pinto the wonder horse is gone

"I loved that song. I saw a little story in the
newspaper about the size of a pack of cigarettes
- it said: 'Pinto the Wonder Horse is Dead.'
But I was reading the newspaper and I was looking
for part two of the story I had already started
- so I never read the story,
I just saw the headline and kept going.
A week later I said, 'My God, where's that newspaper?'
I started askin people - I figured he
was the horse that belonged to some cowboy movie
star, but nobody had a horse named Pinto. So I
just made him up, made him into a childhood hero."
