One of the early stars of the Bakersfield, California, country crowd, Bonnie Owens married Buck Owens in 1948 and divorced him a few years later. In the 50s Bonnie Owens began recording and, in the latter half of the 60s, she scored a number of chart records for Tally and Capitol. Bonnie Owens is best known, however, as one of the background singers who made up the great harmony sound on many of the hits of Merle Haggard, whom she married in 1965. Bonnie Owens continued to tour with Merle long after they divorced in 1978. More... (Submit New Bonnie Owens Lyrics) (Submit New Bonnie Owens Lyrics) Review about Bonnie Owens That little boy of mine | Reviewer: J Foster ------ About the song That Little Boy Of Mine performed by Bonnie Owens My Mom sang this to all the grand kids, as did I, my sister said that Mom told her she sang it to us when we were small. Who did write it? Our version: A tiny little turned up nose, two cheeks just like a little rose, so sweet from head to toes, that little boy/or girl of mine. No one will ever know just what your coming has meant, because we love you so, you're something Heaven has sent, you climb up on my knee, so soft and tenderly, you're all this world to me, that little boy/or girl of mine. Two little arms that hold me tight, two little lips that kiss goodnight, two little eyes that shine so bright, that little boy/or girl of mine. Wow..... | Reviewer: Chris ------ About the song That Little Boy Of Mine performed by Bonnie Owens I, too, thought that my mom made this up. I remember her singing it to my children when they were born and I continued singing it to each of them. I recently taught it to my neighbor who has two little girls. It brought back many fond memories. It made me miss my mom who died in 2006 at the age of 91 and helped me feel close to her at the same time... Thank you. Memories | Reviewer: Deb Weinfurter ------ About the song That Little Boy Of Mine performed by Bonnie Owens My Mother sang this to my brothers and me and then my sons and daughter. I didn't know if it was a real song or something she just made up and sang. She passed away in Feb of 2008, just missing her two Great Grandaughters, one of which was named Rosalie, after her. I now sing it to my Grandaughters. Childhood memories | Reviewer: Joseph M. ------ About the song That Little Boy Of Mine performed by Bonnie Owens My mom used to sing this to me, substituting "My little Joey Boy" for that little boy of mine...She is now departed and sometimes I tear up a little when I read these lyrics and think about our past, especially with Mothers Day tomorrow...But I truly enjoy reading all the other comments, it kind of bonds us all with our Moms and Dads and those wonderful memories of the past, doesnt it? THANK YOU! This song means so much to me! | Reviewer: lori ------ About the song That Little Boy Of Mine performed by Bonnie Owens It is so wonderful to see how many people share this tradition. I too thought it was only my family that did this. My grandmother sang this to me and my mom, the girl version of course. My mom, not being much of a singer, didn't sing it much. When I found out I was having a baby girl my aunt called and sang it to me. I have always wanted the lyrics so that I could share the song with my daughter (now 1 1/2). THANK YOU so much for sharing these lyrics! The tradition will be carried on! family traditions | Reviewer: Michele ------ About the song That Little Boy Of Mine performed by Bonnie Owens My mom (now 92 years old) sang this song to me (changing the lyrics to little girl of mine) when I was little, I sang it to my daughter and she now sings it to her three little girls. It has been very special to all of us for at least 52 years!!!! I know that my granddaughters will pass the tradition down to their children Dad to many boys | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song That Little Boy Of Mine performed by Bonnie Owens My best friend died in 1963 at age 10 of Cystic Fibrosis. This song was sung at his funeral. The words never left my mind or heart and having been a registered nurse for a great deal of my life and encountering the grief of parents and family members when their child succumbed to illness or injury, it was always comforting to them when I would present them with a specially printed, framed copy of this song (no copyright infringement). The lyrics to this song are timeless and appropriate for any generation, past, present or future, and they cannot help but touch the heart of anyone who has been, still is, or is yet to be, a parent. Bryan M. West Jordan, UT Passed on from my mother to her children and grandchildren | Reviewer: Sherill ------ About the song That Little Boy Of Mine performed by Bonnie Owens Our mom sang this song to us when we were babies and she inserted "little girl" fo her daughters. She also sang this song to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She went to be with the Lord on October 15, 2008. She was 95 years old. She has also passed on many other songs that we have passed on to our children. She always had a song in her heart. I miss you, Mom, but thanks for all your love and the wonderful memories. Should be taught to any parent of a son!!!!!! | Reviewer: tom ungaro ------ About the song That Little Boy Of Mine performed by Bonnie Owens My grandmother taught me this song 40 years ago. I learned how to play it on the piano years later and shared it with my two sons. With the unfortunate passing of my 19 month old nephew, we used this song on the back of his mass cards, rather than a prayer or epithath. It was hard to get people to stop talking about it at the service, quite amazing and it helped throughout the tragedy. does anyone know? | Reviewer: Lisa ------ About the song That Little Boy Of Mine performed by Bonnie Owens My great grandfather sang this song to my 84 year old grandmother when she was a child, and it has been passed down from my mother to me. The lyrics exist only in our memories. Does anyone know the author? Does anyone have sheet music for the song? Any help you can provide would be wonderful! Oh, my..... | Reviewer: Becky ------ About the song That Little Boy Of Mine performed by Bonnie Owens Just like the rest of you, this song has been sung in our family for years. For some reason, my father loved it, and sang it to all 3 of his kids, and when I got married, my brother-in-law sang it as a surprise for my dad and I as the traditional "Daddy's Little Girl" dance. Needless to say, I sobbed, my dad cried and neither of us could dance to it!! Now, 23 years later, he sang it to my son, was gone by the time my daughter came along, so my mom sang it to her, and my sister to her kids, and now THEIR kids. Once in a while, if I'm holding any baby, I'll find myself swaying and singing it, and tears never fail to come. Memories | Reviewer: Jennifer Newman ------ About the song That Little Boy Of Mine performed by Bonnie Owens I can't believe I found this. My Mom Would sing this to all the new babies in the family. I have tears in my eyes as I write this. We Lost Mom in 2001 She had ALS. Miss Her Much. Now I can share this with my new grandbabys . Thanks so much. Jennifer Had this sung to me and have sung it to my daughter | Reviewer: Linda Sawyers ------ About the song That Little Boy Of Mine performed by Bonnie Owens My mother and much older sister sang this to me always. I am 56 years old. My mother passed last year at age 93. My daughter is getting married and I always sang it to her as well. I am going to put this song in a slide show of her when she was young at her wedding reception What memories! | Reviewer: Master Shadow ------ About the song That Little Boy Of Mine performed by Bonnie Owens My father used to sing this to me as a young boy I hadn't realised how much I missed that until coming across this today. I was totally awestruck, and actually lost it for a bit. Amazing how something so innocent can trigger such strong memories in a person. I'd rate this a ten anyday! That Little Girl of Mine | Reviewer: Linda Fletcher ------ About the song That Little Boy Of Mine performed by Bonnie Owens I also thought this was a song that only our family knew. My mother (born 1925, passed away 2006 at age 80) sang it to my sister and myself and I in turn did so with my 3 children, changing it to boy/girl as needed. I use to ask Mama to sing it all the time. It meant so much to me all through the years. My daughter married in September of this year, and as a special surprise to her I sang it at the rehearsal (I can't sing but the lullaby is so beautiful it doesn't matter.) It has always meant so much to my daughter and was a really special moment at the rehearsal - a lot of folks teared up, even the men. LOVE these words!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song That Little Boy Of Mine performed by Bonnie Owens I just found these lyrics. I LOVE this song and used to sing it to "my little boy" who is now 43...and wanted to be able to sing it to my little grandson. Thanks for a beautiful song. That Little Boy Of Mine | Reviewer: Bob in Florida ------ About the song That Little Boy Of Mine performed by Bonnie Owens My mom used to play the piano and sing this song to me when I was a child. Each time she sat at the piano, she would ask what I would like to hear and most of the time I would answer, That Little Boy Of Mine. The words and the melody were so very soothing and when I sing them to myself now, I can't hold back the tears. I would like so very much to have the guitar tabs, as I do not have the ability to come up with them on my own and don't know anyone else who knows the song. This Little Girl of Mine | Reviewer: Jeri Hammett ------ About the song That Little Boy Of Mine performed by Bonnie Owens A tiny turned up nose Two cheeks just like a rose So sweet from head to toes This little girl of mine She climbs upon my knee She means the world to me To me she'll always be This little girl of mine No one will ever, ever know just what her coming has meant Because I love her so, she's something Heaven has sent Two eyes so shining bright Two lips to kiss goodnight Two arms to hug me tight This little girl of mine This song has been passed down for generations in our family. A little different from the other entrys but still close to the same lyrics. My Grand daughter age 5 knows it by heart. I just had to search for this song... | Reviewer: Shanna ------ About the song That Little Boy Of Mine performed by Bonnie Owens When I was a little girl my grandmother would sing this song to me along with "Daddy's Little Girl". I always thought it was something she made up. I now have a daughter of my own, and my grandmother sang it to her as well when we would go visit her at the nursing home these past 10 months since she was born. My grandmother passed away two weeks ago and I sing the song to my daughter as much as possible to carry on the memory. Thank you so much for posting the lyrics to this song. I'm so glad I found them. Dulcigal in Alabama | Reviewer: Lou Todd ------ About the song That Little Boy Of Mine performed by Bonnie Owens I am so happy to have found out who wrote these words. My grandmother must have sung it to the last of her 12 children because I remember one of my aunts sitting in a rocking chair and singing it to her son. My mother sang it to her 7 children, I sang it to my 3 children and my 6 grandchildren. Lyrics were pretty much the same as others remembered; it is a timeless tune and is a precious memory.
