East is east and west is west
F                          
And the wrong one I have chose
Bb                  F  
Let's go where I'll keep on wearin'
      Bb         F           Bb          F
Those frills and flowers and buttons and bows
Bb        F          C           F 
Rings and things and buttons and bows


F
Don't bury me in this prairie
F
Take me where the cement grows
Bb                 F
Let's move down to some big town
           Bb     F          Bb         F 
Where they love a gal by the cut of her clothes
    Bb         F      C           F
And I'll stand out in buttons and bows


F
I'll love you in buckskin
                        C
Or skirts that I've homespun
         F                C
But I'll love you longer, stronger where
     G                    C
Your friends don't tote a gun


F
My bones denounce the buckboard bounce
F
And the cactus hurts my toes
Bb                  F 
Let's vamoose where gals keep usin'
      Bb        F          Bb         F   
Those silks and satins and linen that shows
    Bb      F        C           F
And I'm all yours in buttons and bows
                                       (x2)


Bb                           F
Gimme eastern trimmin' where women are women
Bb                    F
In high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes
Bb                      F
And French perfume that rocks the room
Bb          F        Bb          F
And I'm all yours in buttons and bows
Bb          F     C           F
Buttons and bows, buttons and bows 
C           F     C           F
Buttons and bows, buttons and bows
