Lyrics

Rita ballou

Now she could dance that slow uvalde shuffle to some cowboy hustle
How she makes 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 the 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 cowboys look at ol' willard grinnin' now, boys
You'd a-thought there's less fools in this world

Chorus:
Hill country honky-tonkin' rita ballou
Every beer joint in town has played the fool for you
Backslidin' barrel ridin' rita ballou
Ain't a cowboy in texas would not ride a bull for you

Good luck, willard, and here's to ya
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
Hill country honky-tonkin' rita ballou
Every beer joint in town has played the fool for you
Backslidin' barrel ridin' rita ballou
Ain't a cowboy in texas would not ride a bull for you
