Artist/Band: Guy Clark
Lyrics for Song: Rita Ballou
Lyrics for Album: Old No. 1 [2008]



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





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





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





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 a fool for you


Backslidin' barrel ridin' Rita Ballou


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