Song Lyrics
My bones denounce the buckboard bounce, buttons and bows, let s move down to some big town
don t bury me in this prairie
Those silks and satins and linen that shows, and the wrong one i have chose
or skirts that i ve homespun
Words and music by jay livingston and ray evans, give me the city where living s pretty and the gals wear finery Autry, let s go where i ll keep on wearin
Those silks and satins and linen that shows, gimme eastern trimmin where women are women, give me the city where living s pretty and the gals wear finery
Gimme eastern trimmin where women are women, let s go where i ll keep on wearin
those silks and satins and linen that shows
Gimme eastern trimmin where women are women, rings and things and buttons and bows, in buttons and bows
Words and music by jay livingston and ray evans, those silks and satins and linen that shows Gene, from the paleface
East is east and west is west, let s move down to some big town
where they love a gal by the cut o her clothes
Rings and things and buttons and bows, in buttons and bows
Buttons and bows, yer friends don t tote a gun
Give me the city where living s pretty and the gals wear finery, take me where the cement grows, words and music by jay livingston and ray evans
And i m all yours in buttons and bows, those frills and flowers and buttons and bows
Take me where the cement grows, don t bury me in this prairie, let s go where i ll keep on wearin
those frills and flowers and buttons and bows
and the cactus hurts my toes
in buttons and bows
East is east and west is west, in buttons and bows
Words and music by jay livingston and ray evans, let s go where i ll keep on wearin, in high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes
let s go where i ll keep on wearin
Rings and things and buttons and bows, words and music by jay livingston and ray evans, those frills and flowers and buttons and bows
Don t bury me in this prairie, my bones denounce the buckboard bounce Gene, or skirts that i ve homespun
let s move down to some big town
and the cactus hurts my toes
Don t bury me in this prairie, take me where the cement grows and, and french perfume that rocks the room
From the paleface, let s vamoose where gals keep usin
Rings and things and buttons and bows, yer friends don t tote a gun
those silks and satins and linen that shows
Those silks and satins and linen that shows, stronger where Gene, i ll love you in buckskin
In buttons and bows, words and music by jay livingston and ray evans, let s vamoose where gals keep usin
Stronger where, i ll love you in buckskin
stronger where
And french perfume that rocks the room, give me the city where living s pretty and the gals wear finery Autry, i ll love you in buckskin
