 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
