A western ranch is just a branch of Nowhere Junction to me
Give me the city where living's pretty and gals wear finery
East is east and West is west
And the wrong one I have chose
Let's go where you'll keep on wearing
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'll 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 denounce the buckboard bounce
And the cactus hurts my toes
Let's vamoose where gals keep using
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 girl by the cut of her clothes
And you'll stand out in buttons and bow
Those wide open spaces
Don't suite me like a roof
I'll love you longer, stronger
Where the sticking on the hoof
My bones denounce the buckboard bounce
And the cactus hurts my toes
Let's vamoose where gals keep using
Those silks and satins and linen that shows
And you're all mine in buttons and bows
And another thing
Give me eastern trimming where women are women
In high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes
And French parfume that rocks the room
And buttons and bows
Buttons and bows
Buttons and bows
Buttons and bows
