Young Riders

Young orphans wanted the ad read 
  Will help bring this country together is what they said 
  From California to St. Jose they will carry the mail 
  These young boys had a mission and they would not fail 
  And so into history they rode 
  For two years they carried out their goal 
  But when the telegraph came their end would be foretold 
  Soon the boys were just a memory 
  These unsung heroes 
  These brave young boys 
  Have the admirtation of their country 
  To the pony express riders your courage will be 
   An important contribution to this nation's history
