THE PONY EXPRESS SONG

Got a need to know? I've a story to tell

About the Pony Express and raisin' Hell.

Job about which little is known

We go where very few others have gone.

TOP SECRET

We don't wear buckskin or cowboy boots

Just black - that's the color of our flying suits.

Job's no different than it was in the past

We still got people shootin' our ass.

KINDA HAIRY

Some people think it's the mail we bring.

Don't blame us if you don't get a thing.

Our cargo's a different type

Seldom seen in broad daylight.

SNEAKY

We ride out in the early dawn

And don't come back til the sun's gone.

We've lots to do and little time

To do it all without leavin' a sign.

CLANDESTINE

We've got a chopper that's big and black

Been known to take some flak.

The V.C tried and the P.L., too

The Pony Express always comes through.

BLACK MARIAH

Hobos ride shotgun and Zorros, too

And once in a while the Thuds come through.

Nimrods and Fireflies, they work our gigs

Use the Deuces to watch for MIGs.

BANDITS

When the Jolly's are flat on their ass

They come to the Ponies mighty fast

When Pedro's down and the Goonies, too

The Pony Express has to see them through.

VERSATILE

Udorn, Korat, and NKP

These are the places the Ponies you'll see.

You might even see us passin' through

Saigon, Da Nang, and even Pleiku.

EVERYWHERE

Big Charlie's picture is often seen

To the world it's only a Jolly Green

We know better than all the rest

We can tell it's the Pony Express.

UNRECOGNIZED

Bravo Team. TACC,

ABC and XYZ.

We don't know what they all mean

COIN OPS uses them on the scene.

TPRS

I guess this has gone on long enough

You can tell it's secret stuff.

One of these days the word will get out

And all of us will stand up and shout,

PONY EXPRESS

RIDES AGAIN
