Buttons And Bows

East is east the west is west and the wrong one I have chose
Let's go where I'll keep on wearin'
Those frills and flowers and buttons and bows
Rings and things and buttons and bows

Don't bury me in this 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 she'll stand out in buttons and bows

I'll love you in buckskin or shirts that I've homespun
But I'll love you longer stronger where yer friends don't tote a gun
My bones denounce the buckboard bounce and the cactus hurts my toes
Let's vamoose where gals keep usin' those silks and satins and linen that shows
And we're together in buttons and bows

Gimme eastern trimmin' where women are women
In high silk hose and peek a boo clothes
And French perfume that rocks the room
And we're together in buttons and bows
Buttons and bows buttons and bows
