Let's go where they keep on wearin'

Your friends don't tote a gun

My bones denounce the buckboard bounce 

And the cactus hurts my toes

Let's vamoose where gals keep usin' 
      C         F          C          F 
Those silks and satins and linen that shows

Gimme eastern trimmin' where women are women 

In high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes

And I'm all yours in buttons and bows 
G           C     G           C 
Buttons and bows, buttons and bows
