(Cody Of The) Pony Express Lyrics by Riders in the Sky

Harmony Ranch

0

In every corner of this world they boast of men so bold
From Captain Blood and Mister Mud to England's kings of old
Why, every place I've ever been, they think their man's the best
But listen while I introduce a bold man from the West
A thunderbolt bust and then a big cloud of dust
And out rides Cody of the Pony Express
Totin' the mail beside him, he knows the trail to guide him
Cody of the Pony Express
Now, the Injuns wait by the canyon's gate to take Bill by surprise
But they'll never beat the mustang feet of the fastest horse alive
So, over the rim he's running
Racing the wind, he's coming
Cody of the Pony Express!
Now I once saw Cody fight his way through a thousand Indian braves
Riding on a two-ton buffalo's back, he jumped on an Indian's grave
Then he took a half hitch on the buffalo's tail and swung him 'round and 'round
Says, "Step up close, you red galoots, I'll mo-o-o-o-w you down!"
A thunderbolt bust and then a big cloud of dust
And out rides Cody of the Pony Express
Totin' the mail beside him, he knows the trail to guide him
Cody of the Pony Express
Now, the Injuns wait by the canyon's gate to take Bill by surprise
But they'll never beat the mustang feet of the fastest horse alive
So, over the rim he's running
Racing the wind, he's coming
Cody of the Pony Express!
