A western ranch is just a branch of nowhere junction to me
Gimme the city where livin's pretty and the gals wear finery
Oh, east is east and west is west and the wrong 'un I have chose
Let's go where you 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 you'll stand out in buttons and bows
I love you in buckskin or skirts that you've homespun
But I'll love you longer, stronger where your friends don't tote a gun
My bones denounced a buckboard bounce and a cactus hurts my toes
Let's vamoose where gals keep usin'
Those silks and satins and linen that shows
And you're all mine in buttons and bows
Don't bury me in this here prairie, take me where the cement grows
Let's move down to that big town where
They love a gal by the cut of her clothes
And you'll stand out in buttons and bows
(Those wide open spaces don't suit me like a roof)
I will love you longer, stronger, where the stake ain't on the hoof
Well, that follows
My bones denounced a buckboard bounce and that cactus hurts my toes
Let's vamoose where gals keep usin'
Those silks and satins and linen that shows
And you're all mine in buttons and bows
And another thing
Gimme eastern trimmin' where women are women
In high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes
And French perfume that rocks the room and buttons and bows
Buttons and bows
Buttons and bows
Buttons and bows
