[Verse 1]
Boney [G]bones,
is what they [D]called my sweetheart (boney bones)
Boney bones, my darling she was
[G]called (boney bones)
Boney bones, because she had no meat
[C]on (had no meat on)
Boney [D]bones, was the only name
she [G]owned (boney bones)

[Verse 2]
Now one [G]night while I was
courtin' [D]Boney
Some rustling outlaws we did [G]see
That's when Boney
jumped upon her [D]pony
And scared those rustlers
from the territ[G]ory
[C][G]

[Verse 3]
Boney bones now became a
[D]hero (boney bones)
Boney bones, the hero of the [G]town
(boney bones)
Boney bones, the girl who had no meat
[C]on [D](had no mea[Bm]t on)[C]
[D]Boney bones,
the bravest girl [G]around (boney bones)

[Verse 4]
Now the mayor [G]of the city then de[D]cided
That he'd declare a holi[G]day
He told the people they were all in[D]vited
To make that day a place so joyous an
[G]d gay

[D]Now the [G]night before [D]the celebration
A very light wind did hit the [G]town[C]
[D]In [G]the morning with all the ruina[D]tion
Boney bones was nowhere
to be [G]found

[Verse 6]
[G]"Boney [D]bon[G]es!" I
kept on call[D]ing

Boney bones, [G]she had no [G]meat on
Boney [D]bones, come back to
me ([G]boney bones)
