Bonnie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pancho to me our friendship means more
Pancho please forget what I said
‘Cause Pancho were headin' towards our end.
I remember the first time when you came to town
Speaking in Spanish making the rounds
When you first saw me ypour face was agrin
I said someday you'll be happy with me Pancho
I remember the good times when you loved me so
I gave you my hat and wore your sombrero
And all of the times you saved me from death
Oh Pancho you were the best
I had a black horse you had a grey
My horse was fastest but yours di okay
When it came to chasin' rustlers we'd always win
‘Cause we were Pancho and the Cisco kid
Oh Pancho we're headin' towards our end
'Pancho' by Bonnie 'Prince' Billy/Tortoise is a song that speaks to the melancholic feeling of a broken friendship, where one person feels like they have lost their friend to an irreparable extent. The song opens with the line 'Pancho don't you like me no more', which sets the tone for the rest of the song. Pancho, who was once a close friend, has become distant and cold, and the singer is trying to salvage their relationship. The repetition of the line 'Pancho to me our friendship means more' makes it clear that the bond between these two people was once strong and has now weakened. The singer regrets something they said that has pushed Pancho further away, and they are left with the realization that their friendship is coming to an end.
The lyrics evoke a sense of nostalgia as the singer reminisces about their friendship with Pancho. They remember the first time Pancho came to town, how he spoke in Spanish, and how he called the singer "the Cisco Kid". These memories are juxtaposed with the present, where the relationship is breaking down. The singer remembers the good times when Pancho loved them and how he gave them his sombrero, but now Pancho seems distant and uninterested. The final lines of the song, 'Oh Pancho we're headin' towards our end', capture the sense of inevitability that comes with the loss of a close friendship.

I always thought this was referencing Townes Van Zandt's "Pancho and Lefty".
