I got a girl named Bony Moronie She's as skinny as a stick of macaroni Ought to see her rock and roll with her blue jeans on She's not very fat, just skin and bone But I love her and she loves me We're all happy now as we can be Making love underneath the apple tree

She's my one and only, she's my heart's desire She's a real upsetter, she's a real live wire Everybody turns when my baby goes by She's something to see, she really catches the eye I love her and she loves me We're all happy now, as we can be Making love underneath the apple tree

Bonsoir Dame Composer(s): Bud Dashiell Performer(s): Bud & Travis and various other artists
In a green wood close to our village A quiet pool lies still and deep The evening sounds and forest birds Have gently lulled my love to sleep
Chorus: Bonsoir Dame, Madame, Fais dodo (Good Evening Dear, My Dear, go to sleep) Bonsoir Dame, Madame, Fais dodo (Good Evening Dear, My Dear, go to sleep) Bonsoir Dame, Madame, Fais dodo (Good Evening Dear, My Dear, go to sleep) Bonsoir Dame, Madame, Fais dodo (Good Evening Dear, My Dear, go to sleep)
Sing softly birds and don't awake her She doesn't know how my heart aches I've never dared to say "I love you" I'll tell her now, before she wakes
Chorus
Her pretty mouth is warm and smiling She lies dreaming peacefully I'd give my life to know for certain That she would someday dream of me
Chorus
Fais dodo, petite fille (Go to sleep, little lady) Smile for me, dream of me
It seems a pity now to wake her I'd rather stay here and pretend If we could only stay forever Then our dreams would never end
Leonard Composer(s): Merle Haggard Performer(s): Merle Haggard; M.I.R.V.
When Leonard finally came to California He was twenty-one years old as I recall He loved to write a song and pick the guitar And he came to hang a gold one on the wall
The town in which he lived is not important But you'll know which town I mean by the time I'm through He soon became a famous entertainer But Leonard was a name he never used
He was on his way to having what he wanted Just about as close as one could be Hey! once he even followed Elvis Presley And he wrote a lot of country songs for me
But he laid it all aside to follow Jesus For years he chose to let his music go But preaching wasn't really meant for Leonard But how in the hell was Leonard s'posed to know
Well, life began to twist its way around him And I wondered how he carried such a load He came back again to try his luck in music And lost his wife and family on the road
[After that he seemed to bog down even deeper And I saw what booze and pills could really do And I wondered if I'd ever see him sober But I forgot about a friend that Leonard knew]
Well, Leonard gave me lots of inspiration He helped teach me how to write a country song And he even brought around a bag of groceries Hey! back before Muskogee came along
Really I'm not trying to hide his showname Or the town in which this episode began [Somehow I had to write a song for old Tommy] If just to see the smilin' faces in the band
When Leonard finally came to California He was twenty-one years old as I recall And he loved to write a song and pick the guitar And he came to hang a gold one on the wall
Bonnie Eloise Composer(s): George W. Elliot; John R. Thomas Performer(s): The Sons of the Pioneers
O, sweet is the vale where the Mohawk gently glides On its clear winding way to the sea And dearer than all storied streams on earth beside Is this bright rolling river to me
But sweeter, dearer, yes, dearer far than these Who charms where others all fail Is my blue-eyed, Bonny, Bonny Eloise The Belle of the Mohawk Vale
O, sweet are the moments when dreaming I roam Thro' my loved haunts now mossy and grey And dearer than all is my childhood's hallow'd home That is crumb'ling now slowly away
Boney Maroney Composer(s): Larry Williams Performer(s): Sha Na Na and various other artists
I got a girl name of Boney Maroney She's as skinny as a stick of macaroni Oughta see her rock'n'roll with her blue jeans on She's not very fat, just skin and bo-o-one
But I love her, she loves me Oh how happy now we can be Makin' love underneath the apple tree
Well I told her mother and her father too Just exactly what I wanna do I wanna get married on a night in June And rock and roll By the light of the silvery moo-oo-oon
'Cause I love her, she loves me Oh how happy now we can be Makin' love underneath the apple tree
Woh-oh right Oh! Oh yeah Ooh! Wooh - hah
She's my one and only, she's my heart's desire She's a real upsetter, she's a real live wire Everybody turns when my baby goes by-y She's something to see She really catches the eye-eye-eye
That's why I love her, she loves me Oh how happy now we can be Makin' love underneath the apple tree
