[Verse 1]
DEast is east and Bmwest is west
And the Dwrong one I have chose
GLet's go where I'll Emkeep on wearin'
Those Dfrills and flowers and buttons and bows
Rings and things and Abuttons and Dbows
[Verse 2]
DDon't bury me on the lone praiBmrie  
Take me Dwhere the cement grows
GLet's move down to Dsome big Emtown
Where they Dlove a gal by the cut o' her clothes
And I'll stand out in Abuttons and Dbows
[Chorus]
GI'll love you in buckskin
Or skirts that you've Dhomespun
But I'll Dlove ya' longer, stronger where
Yer Efriends don't tote a Agun
My Dbones denounce the buckboard bounce
And the Dcactus hurts my toes
Let's Gvamoose where Emgals keep usin'
Those Dsilks and satins and linen that Gshows
And I'm all yours in Abuttons and Dbows
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
GI'll love you in buckskin
Or skirts that you've Dhomespun
But I'll Dlove ya' longer, stronger where
Yer Efriends don't tote a Agun
MDy bones denounce the buckboard bounce
And the Dcactus hurts my toes
Let's Gvamoose where Emgals keep usin'
Those Dsilks and satins and linen that Gshows
And I'm all yours in Abuttons and Dbows
Gimme Aeastern trimmin' where Dwomen are women
AHigh silk hose and Dpeek-a-boo clothes
And French Aperfume that Drocks the room
And Ayou're all mine in buttons and Dbows
AButtons and Dbows
AButtons and Dbows
