Verse
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' dumb old cousin Willard
C                   G                C
Into thinkin that he's got her this time

Chorus
F                                     C
Hill country honky-tonkin Rita Ballou
C                             F             G
Every beer joint in town has played a fool for you
F                                     C
Backslidin' barrel ridin' Rita Ballou
C                                   G              C
Ain't a cowboy in Texas would not ride a bull for you

Verse
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

Solo

Bridge
C
So good luck Willard and here's to you
Am
And here's to Rita and I hope she'll do ya
F
Right all night
                       G            C    
Lord I wish I was the fool in your shoes

Chorus
