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
