Boney Bones

Boney bones, is what they called my sweetheart (boney bones)
Boney bones, my darling she was called (boney bones)
Boney bones, because she had no meat on (had no meat on)
Boney bones, was the only name she owned (boney bones)

Now one night while I was courtin' Boney
Some rustling outlaws we did see
That's when Boney jumped upon her pony
And scared those rustlers from the territory

Boney bones now became a hero (boney bones)
Boney bones, the hero of the town (boney bones)
Boney bones, the girl who had no meat on (had no meat on)
Boney bones, the bravest girl around (boney bones)

Now the mayor of the city then decided
That he'd declare a holiday
He told the people they were all invited
To make that day a place so joyous and gay

Now the night before the celebration
A very light wind did hit the town
In the morning with all the ruination
Boney bones was nowhere to be found

"Boney bones!" I kept on calling
"Boney bones" where can you be?
Boney bones, she had no meat on
Boney bones, come back to me (boney bones)
