A Western ranch is just a branch 
   Gm7                 F 
Of nowhere junction to me 
Bb       F           Bb       F

Let's move down to some big town 
      C9   F      Dm         F          Am 
Where they love a gal by the cut of her clothes

Or 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 vamoose where gals keep usin' 
      F         Dm         F          Dm

   Gm7       C7       F 
In high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes 
    Gm7       C7        F 
And French perfume that rocks the room 
    Gm7        C7                  F 
And You're all mine in buttons and bows 
C7          F     C7          F 
Buttons and bows, buttons and bows
