Buttons And Bows

From Conservapedia

"Buttons and Bows" is a 1947-48 American pop song and one of the first popular country songs.[1] It was written for the 1948 movie The Paleface, where Bob Hope sang it in a hillbilly voice, but was previously released as a record by Dinah Shore in 1947.[2] It is sometimes considered to be part of the Great American Songbook. In Dinah Shore's version, she is begging to leave the countryside and go to the city, and promises that:

“ I'll love you in buckskin,
and skirts that I've homespun
But I'll love you longer, stronger, where
your friends don't tote a gun

My bones denounce
the buckboard bounce
and the cactus hurts my toes
Let's go where I'll keep on wearing those frills and flowers and buttons and bows
rings and things and buttons and bows.

”
