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.

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.
