Introdução:
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
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
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
