East is east and west is west 


And the wrong one I have chose 

F                   C       F 
Let's go where I'll keep on wearin' 

      C          Am          C           Am 
Those frills and flowers and buttons and bows 

C         F          G7          C    G7 
Rings and things and buttons and bows 


      C 
Don't bury me in this prairie 


Take me where the cement grows 

F                  C        F 
Let's move down to some big town 

           C      Am         C          Am 
Where they love a gal by the cut of her clothes 

    C            F      G7          C 
And you'll stand out in buttons and bows 


     F 
I'll love you in buckskin 

                          C 
Or skirts that you've homespun 

         Am 
But I'll love you longer stronger where 

     D7                   G7 
Your friends don't tote a gun 


C 
My bones denounce the buckboard bounce 


And the cactus hurts my toes 

F                   C         F 
Let's vamoose where gals keep usin' 

      C         Am         C          Am 
Those silks and satins and linen that shows 

    C       F        G7          C 
And I'm all yours in buttons and bows 


      G7                     C 
Gimme eastern trimmin' where women are women 

G7                    C 
In high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes 

G7                      C 
And French perfume that rocks the room 

G7                   F           C 
And I'm all yours in buttons and bows 

F           C    F           C 
Buttons and bows buttons and bows
