Original Ada Jones version
Way out west in a nest from the west was the bestest of the bronco boys
He could ride he could glide over 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 pony boy
Don't say no, here we go off across the plain
Marry me, carry me right away with you
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up whoa! My pony boy"
"Pony boy, pony boy, won't you be my pony boy
Don't say no, here we go off across the plain
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 Russell 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 the pony boy to love
But he baulked when she talked of a trip to New York so she sang to him
"Pony boy, pony boy, won't you be my pony boy
Don't say no, here we go off across the plain
Marry me, carry me right away with you
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up whoa! My pony boy"
"Pony boy, pony boy, won't you be my pony boy
Don't say no, here we go off across the plain
Marry me, carry me right away with you
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up whoa! My pony boy"
My pony boy
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up whoa
My pony boy
