In Dinah Shore's version, she is begging to leave the countryside and go to the city, and promises that: {{cquote|I'll love you in buckskin,<br>and skirts that I've homespun<br>But I'll love you longer, stronger, where<br>your friends don't tote a gun<br>
My bones denounce<br>the buckboard bounce<br>and the cactus hurts my toes<br>Let's go where I'll keep on wearing those frills and flowers and buttons and bows<br>rings and things and buttons and bows.}}
