A western ranch is just a branch of no where junction to me
Give me a city where livings pretty and the 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 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 thе cut o' her clothes
And you'll stand out in buttons and bows

I love you in buckskin
Or skirts that you'vе homespun
But I 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 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 prairie
Take me where the cement grows
Let's move down to some big town
Where they love a gal by the cut o' 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 long and stronger where the steak ain't on the hoof
Well that follows

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 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
