Rita Ballou
by Guy Clark

C
she could dance that slow Uvalde
F
shuffle to some cowboy hustle
C
how she made them cowboy buckles 
G
shine, shine, shine
C
wild-eyed and Mexican silvered
F
trickin' old cousin Willard
C                               G
into thinkin that he's got her this time

Chorus:
F                               C
hill country honky-tonkin Rita Ballou
                                        G
every beer joint in town has played a fool for you
F                               C
backslidin' barrel ridin' Rita Ballou
                                G               C
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
hightimin' 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

F
so good luck Willard and here's to you
Am
and here's to Rita and I hope she'll do ya
G
right all night
                              C
lord I wish I was the fool in your shoes

Chorus
