I'M An Old Cowhand-Johnny Mercer Chord Chart Page 2

p.2. I'm An Old Cowhand/Buttons and Bows

Let's go where you'll keep on wearin' those frills and flowers and buttons and bows,

Rings and things and buttons and bows

Don't bury me on the lone prai-rie, take me where the cement grows

Let's move down to some big town, where they love a gal by the cut of her clothes

And you'll stand out in buttons and bows

I'll love you in buckskins, or skirts that you've home-spun

But I'll love ya' longer, stronger, where your friends don't tote a gun

My bones de-nounce the buckboard bounce, and the cactus hurts my toes

Let's vamoose where the gals keep usin' those silks and satins and linen that shows

And you're all mine in buttons and bows

Gimme Eastern trimmin' where women are women, in high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes

With French per-fume that rocks the room, and you're all mine in buttons and bows,

Buttons and bows, buttons and bows....... (fade)
