rita ballou

Singer: john denver

she could dance and slow you 'bout

shuffle to some cowboy hustle. how she made those trophy buckles shine

shine

shine. wild-eyed in mexican silver

tricking dumb old cousin willard

into thinking that he got her this time. hill country

honky-tonkin' rita ballou

every beer joint in town has played a fool for you. back sliding

barrel riding rita ballou

ain't a cowboy in texas would not ride a bull for you. she's a rawhide roping velvet mixture

walking

talking texas texture

high-timing

barroom fixture kind of a girl. she's a queen of the cowboys

look at old willard grinning now

boys

you'd have thought there's less fools in this world. hill country

honky-tonkin' rita ballou

every beer joint in town has played a fool for you. back sliding

barrel riding rita ballou

ain't a cowboy in texas would not ride a bull for you. good luck willard

and here's to ya

and here's to rita

i hope she'll do ya right all night. but i wish i was a fool in your shoes. hill country

honky-tonkin' rita ballou

every beer joint in town has played a fool for you. back sliding

barrel riding rita ballou

ain't a cowboy in texas would not ride a bull for you. lord

i wish i was in texas

i would ride a bull for you.
