Buttons and Bows (Dinah Shore)
East is east and west is west And the wrong one I have chose Lets go where Ill keep on wearin Those frills and flowers and buttons and bows Rings and things and buttons and bows
Dont bury me in this prairie Take me where the cement grows Lets move down to some big town Where they love a gal by the cut o her clothes And Ill stand out In buttons and bows
Ill love you in buckskin Or skirts that Ive homespun But Ill love ya longer, stronger where Your friends dont tote a gun My bones denounce the buckboard bounce And the cactus hurts my toes Lets vamoose where gals keep usin Those silks and satins and linen that shows And Im all yours in buttons and bows
My bones denounce the buckboard bounce And the cactus hurts my toes Lets vamoose where gals keep usin Those silks and satins and linen that shows And Im all yours in buttons and bows
My bones denounce the buckboard bounce And the cactus hurts my toes Lets vamoose where gals keep usin Those silks and satins and linen that shows And Im all yours in buttons and bows
Gimme eastern trimmin where women are women In high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes And French perfume that rocks the room And Im all yours in buttons and bows
(我們兄妹喜歡書本是媽媽的遺傳, 喜歡音樂的基因則是來自父親。 小時候,家境雖然平平, 但是家裏經常樂音飛揚。 父親買唱片不看門戶派別, 只要他喜歡的就行, 因此從古典小品、到輕古典、電影音樂、舞曲音樂、 到國語、台語和日語歌曲,樣樣都有。
我曾經怨恨過父親, 因爲他的花心讓媽媽受苦了大半生, 如今父親的身體日益衰竭, 想到童年從父親的唱機裏聽到的許多音樂, 把它們貼出來,一方面是感恩懷念雙親, 一方面希望父親在剩餘不多的歲月裏心靈平安。)
