guy clark – rita ballou (1981 version) lyrics
[verse 1]
she could dance that slow bandera
shuffle to some cowboy hustle
how she made them trophy buckles shine, shine, shine
wild+eyed and mexican silvered
tricking dumb old cousin willard
into thinking that he got her this time
[chorus]
hill country honky+tonking rita ballou
every beer joint in town has played a fool for you
backsliding barrel+riding rita ballou
ain’t a cowboy in texas would not ride a bull for you
[verse 2]
she’s a rawhide rope and velvet mixture
walking talking texas texture
high+timing barroom fixture kind of a girl
she’s the queen of the cowboys
look at old willard grinning now, boys
you’d have thought there’s less fools in this world
(but there wasn’t)
[chorus]
hill country honky+tonking rita ballou
every beer joint in town has played the fool for you
backsliding barrel+riding rita ballou
ain’t a cowboy in texas would not ride a bull for you
[bridge]
so good luck, willard, and here’s to ya
and here’s to rita and i hope she’ll do ya right all night
lord, i wished i was a fool in your jeans
[chorus]
hill country honky+tonking rita ballou
every beer joint in town has played the fool for you
backsliding barrel+riding rita ballou
ain’t a cowboy in texas would not ride a bull for you
hill country honky+tonking rita ballou
every beer joint in town has played the fool for you
backsliding barrel+riding rita ballou
ain’t a cowboy in texas would not ride a bull for you
