Lyrics

Deep in the South of Texas
not so long ago
there on a crowded island
in the Gulf of Mexico
it didn't take too much money
man, but it sure was nice.
You could dance all night if you felt all right
drinking whiskey and throwing dice.
And everybody knows
it was hard to leave.
And everybody knows
it was down at the Balinese.
Yeah, I remember Ruby
she always dressed in red
wearing skintight pants, Lord, and how she could dance
with a rag wrapped around her head.
And everybody knows
it was hard to leave.
And everybody knows
it was down at the Balinese.
And everybody knows
it was hard to leave.
And everybody knows
it was down at the Balinese
it was down at the Balinese
it was down at the Balinese.
