(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'm fast today and ask them at the relay

And they say: Nay! Why don't she answer?



There's nothing I can do if it don't get through

Blame it on the pony express

Nothing I can say if it goes astray, yeah

Blame it on the pony express

Come on



I only pray that the long delays

Doesn't mean that I've lost the heart I had a claim on

But if they stay on the homeward trail

I know there's gonna be a letter with my name on

How can I go on with you, girl



There's nothing I can do if it don't get through

Blame it on the pony express

Nothing I can say if it goes astray, yeah

Blame it on the pony express

Honey, it you're lonely, blame it on the pony express



Listen

Cherokee, Pawnee, Navajo Indian

It's such a long way from St. Joe to Sacramento

I've tried not to worry, but my heart is in a hurry

So ride just as fast as you can, yeah



There's nothing I can do if it don't get through

Blame it on the pony express

Nothing I can say if it goes astray, yeah

Blame it on the pony express

Honey, it you're lonely, blame it on the pony express ....
