MY PONY BOY
>From the Broadway Show "Miss Innocence" (1909)
(Charlie O'Donnell / Bobbie Heath)


Lillian Lorraine (Broadway Production) - 1909




Way out west, in a nest from the rest, dwelt the bestest little
Bronco Boy
He could ride, he could glide o'er the prairies like an arrow
Every maid in the glade was afraid he would trade his little heart
away
So each little peach made a nice little speech of love to him


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


Till one day, out that way, so they say, came to stay a fluffy ruffle
girl
She made eyes, she surprised, and he found his heart was lassoed
When he thought he was caught, how he fought, but she taught this
pony boy to love
But he balked when she talked of a trip to New York, so she sang to
him


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.


Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, whooooooa! My Pony Boy
