Pony Boy (song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pony Boy was a popular song written in 1909 by Bobby Heath (lyrics) and Charley O'Donnell (music).

Along with songs like "Cheyenne", it became a cliché, as its tune was frequently used in Western movies and cartoons. It works especially well when played on a "Honky tonk" piano.

The verse explains that the central character of the song has many female admirers. The chorus goes:

Pony Boy, Pony Boy
Won't you be my Tony Boy
Don't say no
Here we go
Off across the plains
Marry me
Carry me
Right away with you
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, whoa!
My Pony Boy
