Yuletide On The Pony Express (Feat. Ella Clayton)

Verse

The card said Merry christmas

Same as the rest

“To my baby” “From your darling” “My dear, I love you the best”

But not a single word

Is addressed to me

But unless of course, they sent it to my horse

I don’t even know where that would be

The sign on the door

Says orphans preferred

I’m a lonestar

In the night sky

Bovine without a herd

And it gets awful lonesome

On your ownsome out here

But my trusty steed’s all the friend I need, 364 days a year

Chorus

But don’t you know it’s

Yuletide on the Pony Express

It’s enough to make a cowboy depressed

It’s a long ride on your own in the west

Yuletide on the Pony Express

Verse

I once had a woman

But she rarely had me

Now I deliver her sweet and kindly words

To a man employed gainfully

As far as I’ve learnt

From these letters I read

I’m better off dead, for she’s engaged to be wed

On this godforsaken Christmas eve

Chorus

But don’t you know it’s

Yuletide on the Pony Express

It’s enough to make a cowboy depressed

It’s a long ride on your own in the west

Yuletide on the Pony Express

Bridge (ella only)

So please forgive me,

If I get a little choked up

It's hard for me to talk about

With this bit ‘tween my teeth

But seeing as it’s christmas

And I thought you ought to know

I love you cowboy

My sweet lovin’ beau

But you’re pulling me left and right

Nearly breaking my back

Riding me 10 hours, once every 10 nights

And I’m supposed to be okay with that

And I long to ride off into the sunset

And start a life anew

I’m equine as hell, but I can be your southern belle

And you my sugarcube

Chorus

But don’t you know it’s

Yuletide on the Pony Express

(is it not enough that I love you the best?)

It’s a long ride on your own in the west

Yuletide on the Pony Express

Yuletide on the Pony Express

Yuletide on the Pony Express

It’s a long ride on your own in the west

Yuletide on the Pony Express
