It was incorporated into the Broadway musical Miss Innocence (1909) where it was introduced by Lillian Lorraine.[1] DescriptionAlong 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[2] 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[3] 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.[4] In the 1931 Krazy Kat short Rodeo Dough, a female spaniel sings the song after Krazy wins a rodeo event. In the 1950s The song was used in a commercial selling a juice concentrate also called Pony Boy. RecordingsAda Jones recorded it for Victor Records # 16356 in August 1909.
