Verse 1:

C
Way out west, in a nest from the rest
                          D
Dwelt the best-est little Broncho boy
         G7
He could ride he could glide o'er the prairies
        C     G7
Like an arrow.

      C
Ev'ry maid in the glade, was a-fraid
                          D
He would trade his little heart a-way
   D7
So each little peach
Made a nice little speech of
C    GdimG7 G7+
Love to him

Chorus:

C        D7
Pony boy pony boy
G7              C
Won't you be my Tony boy
          CdimG7
Don't say no here we go
Dm   G7        C     G7
Off across the plains

C        D7
Marry me carry me
G7              E7
Right away with you
Am                         Gbdim
Giddy-up giddy-up giddy-up Whoa
C  D7 G7C
My Pony Boy.

Verse 2:

         C
Till one day, out that way, so they say
                      D
Came to stay a Fluffy Ruffle girl
         G7
She made eyes, she surprised, and he found
                  C       G7
His was heart was lass-oed

        C
When he thought he was caught how he fought
                         D
But she taught this pony boy to love
       D7
But he balked when she talked of a trip to New York
       C    GdimG7 G7+
So she sang to him

Chorus Repeat:

C
