Balinese

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 diceAnd everybody knows it was hard to leave

And everybody knows it was down at the BalineseI remember Ruby she always dressed in red

Wearing skintight pants

Lord, and how she could dance

With a rag wrapped around her headAnd everybody knows it was hard to leave

And everybody knows it was down at the Balinese, yeahAnd 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
