[Verse 1]
CEast is east and west is west
And the wrong one I have chose
FLet's go where they keep on wearin'
CThose frills and flowers and buttons and bows
Rings and things and Gbuttons and Cbows.
[Verse 2]
CDon't bury me in this prairie
Take me where the cement grows
FLet's move down to some big town
CWhere they love a gal by the cut o' her clothes
And you'll stand out, in Gbuttons and Cbows.
FI'll love you in buckskin
COr skirts that I've homespun
But I'll love ya' longer, stronger
DWhere yer friends don't tote a gun
[Verse 3]
CMy bones denounce the buckboard bounce
And the cactus hurts my toes
FLet's vamoose where gals keep a-usin'
Those Csilks and satins and linen that shows
And I'm all yours in Gbuttons and Cbows.
[Interlude]
F     C   D   G
[Verse 4]
CMy bones denounce the buckboard bounce
And the cactus hurts my toes
FLet's vamoose where gals keep a-usin'
Those Csilks and satins and linen that shows
And I'm all yours in Gbuttons and Cbows.
Those Csilks and satins and linen that shows
And I'm all yours in Gbuttons and Cbows
[Verse 5]
FGimme eastern trimmin' 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 Gbuttons and Cbows.
CBow and flowers and buttins and bow
Rings and things and Gbuttins and Cbows

[Verse 1]

East is east and west is west

And the wrong one I have chose

Let's go where they keep on wearin'

Those frills and flowers and buttons and bows

G C

Rings and things and buttons and bows.

[Verse 2]

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

G C

And you'll stand out, in buttons and bows.

I'll love you in buckskin

Or skirts that I've homespun

But I'll love ya' longer, stronger

Where yer friends don't tote a gun

[Verse 3]

My bones denounce the buckboard bounce

And the cactus hurts my toes

Let's vamoose where gals keep a-usin'

Those silks and satins and linen that shows

G C

And I'm all yours in buttons and bows.

[Interlude]

F C D G

[Verse 4]

My bones denounce the buckboard bounce

And the cactus hurts my toes

Let's vamoose where gals keep a-usin'

Those silks and satins and linen that shows

G C

And I'm all yours in buttons and bows.

Those silks and satins and linen that shows

G C

And I'm all yours in buttons and bows

[Verse 5]

Gimme eastern trimmin' where women are women

In high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes

And French perfume that rocks the room

G C

And I'm all yours in buttons and bows.

Bow and flowers and buttins and bow

G C

Rings and things and buttins and bows
