Buttons and Bows

East is east, and west is west

And, the wrong one, I have chose

Let's go where you'll keep on wearin'

Those frills and flowers and buttons and bows

Rings and things and buttons and bows

Don't bury me on the lone prairie

Take me where the cement grows

Let's move down to some big town

Where they love a gal by the cut of her clothes

And, you'll stand out in buttons and bows

I love you in buckskin

Or skirts that you've homespun

But, I'll love ya longer, stronger

Where your friends don't tote a gun

My bones denounce the buckboard bounce

And the cactus hurts my toes

Let's vamoose where the gals keep usin'

Those silks and satins and linen that shows

And, you're all mine in buttons and bows

I love you in buckskin

Or skirts that you've homespun

But, I'll love ya longer, stronger

Where your friends don't tote a gun

My bones denounce the buckboard bounce

And the cactus hurts my toes

Let's vamoose where the gals keep usin'

Those silks and satins and linen that shows

And, you're all mine in buttons and bows

Give me eastern trimmin', where women are women

In high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes

And French perfume that rocks the room

And, you're all mine in buttons and bows

Buttons and bows

Buttons and bows

Buttons and bows
