"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 |
” |
