| 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. |
