Lyrics (Blame It On The) Pony Express - The Pioneers

(Blame It On The) Pony Express

It’s been a while since you left St Joe, I still tell myself, you gotta feel
the same way.
I’ll get a letter very soon I know, so I pass today, and ask them at the relay,
and they say, hey …
There’s nothin' I can do if it don’t get through, blame it on the pony express.
There’s nothin' I can say if it goes astray, blame it on the pony express.
I only pray that the long delay, doesn’t mean that I lost the heart I had a
claim on.
But if I stay on a homeward trail, I know there’s gonna be a letter with my
name on.
How can I go on, with you gone?
There’s nothin' I can do if it don’t get through, blame it on the pony express.
There’s nothin' I can say if it goes astray, blame it on the pony express.
Honey if you’re lonely, blame it on the pony express.
Cherokee, Pawnee, Navajo Indian …
(It's such along way from St Joe to Sacramento.)
I’m tryin' not to worry, my heart is in a hurry, so ride just as fast as you
can.
There’s nothin' I can do if it don’t get through, blame it on the pony express.
There’s nothin' I can say if it goes astray, blame it on the pony express.
I only hope and pray, that this lonely day, doesn’t mean I have to wait another
lonely day.
There’s nothin' I can do if it don’t get through, blame it on the pony express.
There’s nothin' I can say if it goes astray, blame it on the pony express.
