Well I got a girl named Boney Maronie
& she's as skinny as a stick of macaroni
Oughta see her rock & roll with her blue jeans on
She's not very fat, just skin & bone
CHORUS:
Well I love her, she loves me
Oh how happy now we can be
Makin' love underneath the apple tree
Well I told her mama & I told her papa too
Exactly what we're gonna do
Get married on a night of June
& rock & roll beneath the silvery moon
(chorus)
(instrumental)
She's my one & 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 somethin' to see that really catches the eye
(chorus)
Come On Let's Go (demo)
(Ritchie Valens)
Well Jessie, doll, darlin', I love you so
Oh I will never never never let you go

Until death do us part
So come on down, let's go by back again
Come on little baby, go back in

That's My Little Suzie
(Ritchie Valens/Kuhn)
Well now I've got a girl named Sue
She knows what to do
She's just through rockin' from here to my door
She knows I know & run back in 2

When my baby gets a-tired of me
I'm gonna do just like misery
Gonna drop my Sue

Well she gets me on the floor every now & then
Just rocks all around my head
I don't even know what to do with Sue, Sue, Sue
Well now she rocks to the right & she rocks to the left

Let's get all so tired, this heart &
Come on baby, let's just rock once again, 'gain

Well sometimes, baby, I don't know what made you jump
'Cause you've got me runnin', you got me rollin' all night

In A Turkish Town
(Ritchie Valens)
There across the sea waits my fair one
In a Turkish town, waiting there for me
(humming, in pattern of above 2 lines)
& I know that someday we will live in love
As the mystery Turks say, like the stars above
I know that she's waiting & I'll always love
My little Turkish town where she waits
(instrumental)
(repeat verse 2)
The Paddiwack Song
(Traditional; arranged by Ritchie Valens)
Well this old man, he played 1
He played knick-knack on my thumb
Knick knack, paddiwack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rollin' home
Well this old man, he played 2
He played knick-knack on my shoe
Knick knack, paddiwack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rollin' home
Well this old man, he played 4
He played knick-knack on my door
Knick knack, paddiwack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rollin' home
(instrumental)
Well this old man, he played 5
He played knick-knack on my jive
Knick knack, paddiwack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rollin' home
Well this old man, he played 6
He played knick-knack on my sticks
Knick knack, paddiwack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rollin' home
Well this old man, he played 7
He played knick-knack up to heaven
Knick knack, paddiwack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rollin' home
Well this old man, he played 8
He played knick-knack on his gate
Knick knack, paddiwack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rollin' home
Stay Beside Me
(Olofson/Ellenhorn)
Stay beside me, here beside me
Stay beside me day after day
When I'm feeling blue, let me look at you
Oh my darling, please won't you say
You'll stay beside me, help & guide me
Never never leave me alone
Trust & love me, be proud of me
Let me keep your heart for my own
With your love, you make me strong
Come to me where you belong
Stay beside me, close beside me
You must know it's you I adore
You were meant for me, you will always be
My true love forever more
