"My Pony Boy" is a popular song written in 1909 by Bobby Heath (lyrics) and Charley O'Donnell. ==Description== 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 first verse explains that the central character of the song has many female admirers; the second that the "Fluffy Ruffle girl" has won his heart. The chorus: :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〔Heath, "My Pony Boy"〕 The old expression "giddy up", exhorting a horse to gallop at high speed, is a corruption of "get ye up". The term "tony" refers to someone of high "tone" or social elegance.〔http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?allowed_in_frame=0&search=tony&searchmode=none〕 In the 1931 Krazy Kat short ''Rodeo Dough'', a female spaniel sings the song after Krazy wins a rodeo event.
