 "My Pony Boy" is a popular song written in 1909 by Bobby Heath (lyrics) and Charley O'Donnell.
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 Pony 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
The old expression "giddy up", exhorting a horse to gallop at high speed, is a corruption of "get ye up".
In the 1931 Krazy Kat short Rodeo Dough, a female spaniel sings the song after Krazy wins a rodeo event.
Bruce Springsteen included a modified version as the last song on his 1992 album Human Touch
