Riders In The Sky - (Cody Of The) Pony Express lyrics

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!
