Guy Clark - Rita Ballou lyrics



She could dance that slow Uvalde

Shuffle to some cowboy hustle

How she made them trophy buckles shine, shine, shine

Wild-eyed and Mexican silvered,

Trickin' dumb ol' cousin Willard

into thinkin that he's got her this time

Chorus

Hill country honky-tonkin Rita Ballou

Every beer joint in town has played a fool for you

Backslidin' barrel ridin' Rita Ballou

Ain't a cowboy in Texas would not ride a bull for you

She's a rawhide rope and velvet mixture

Walkin' talkin Texas texture

High-timin' barroom fixture kind of a girl

She's the queen of the cowboys

Look at old Willard grinnin' now boys

You'd of thought there's less fools in this world

Chorus

So good luck Willard and here's to you

And here's to Rita and I hope she'll do ya right all night

Lord I wish I was the fool in your shoes

Chorus
