Buttons And Bows

Buttons and Bows

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

Dont bury me in this prarie take me where the cement grows
Lets go down to Sunvigtown
Where they love a gal by the cut of her clothes
And I'll stand out in buttons and bows

I'll love you in buckskin and skirts that I've homespun
But I'll love you longer stronger where your friends don't tote a gun

My bones denounce the buckboard bounce and the cactus hurts my toes
Let's vamvoose where gals keep usin'
Those silks and satins and linens that show
And I'm all your's in buttons and bows


My bones denounce the buckboard bounce and the cactus hurts my toes
Let's vamvoose where gals keep usin'
Those silks and satins and linens that show
And I'm all your's in buttons and bows

Silks and satins and linens that show
And I'm all your's in buttons and bows

Give me eastern trimmings, where women are women
in high silk hose and, peek a boo clothes
and french perfume, that rocks the room
And I'm all yours, in buttons and bows

buttons and bows
buttons and bows

Frills and flowers and buttons and bows
Rings and things and buttons and bows
