she could dance that slow uvalde
shuffle to some cowboy hustle
how she made them trophy buckles shine
wild-eyed and mexican silvered
trickin' dumb ol' cousin willard
into thinkin' that he's got her this time
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
you'd of thought there's less fools in this world
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
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
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
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
