Boney Bones - Louis Prima, Keely Smith

Boney Bones is what they called my sweetheart

Boney Bones, my darling she was called

Boney Bones, because she had no meat on

Boney Bones, was the only name she owned

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, the hero of the town

Boney Bones, the girl who had not meat on

Boney Bones, the bravest girl around

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 meat on

«Boney Bones, come back to me!»
