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
