Discover the story of the song > Buttons And Bows – Dinah Shore

The protagonist wants to leave their current situation and go somewhere where they can wear fancy clothes and accessories like frills, flowers, rings, and buttons. They want to move to a big town where people appreciate someone's style and appearance, rather than being stuck in a place with no fashion sense. They want to be with their partner, love them in unique outfits like buckskin and homespun skirts, and be free from the discomfort of riding in a buckboard and walking on cacti. They desire a place where women dress elegantly in silk, satin, and linen, and want to give themselves completely to their partner in this new environment.
