Lyrics
It's been awhile since you left St. Joe and still
I tell myself you gotta feel the same way
I'll get a letter very soon I know
So I call each day and ask about the relay, and they say.
There's nothin' I can do if it don't get through
Just 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
I've 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 nothin' I can do if it don't get through
I'm gonna blame it on the pony express
There's nothin' I can say if it goes astray
Why don't you blame it on the pony express?
Honey if you're lonely, blame it on the pony express
Cherokee, Pawnee, Navajoe 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 write 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
Just blame it on the pony express
Well there's nothin' I can do if it don't get through
Why don't ya blame it on the pony express
There's nothin' I can say if it goes astray
Just blame it on the pony express
