It's been a while since you left St. Joe And still I tell myself You've got to feel the same way. I'll get aletter very soon. I know so I call in each day
And ask them at the relay
And they say: Hey!
There's nothing I can do If I don't get through Blame it on the pony express. There's nothing I can stay If it goes a stray Blame it on the pony express
I only pray that the long delay Doesn't mean I lost the heart I had a claim on But if they stay on a homeward trail I know there's gonna be a letter with my name on How can I go on
There's nothing...
Honey if you're lonely blame it on the pony express. Cherokee Pawree Na-va-jo Indian it's such a long way From St. Joe to Sacramento.
I'm tryin' not to worry but my heart is in a hurry So ride just as fast as you can.
