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
