Balinese 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

Everybody knows it was hard to leave

And everybody knows

It was down at the Balinese

I remember Ruby

She always dressed in red

Wearing skintight pants

Lord, and how she could dance

With a rag wrapped around her head

Everybody knows it was hard to leave

And everybody knows

It was down at the Balinese, yeah

Everybody knows it was hard to leave

Everybody knows

It was down at the Balinese

It was down at the Balinese

It was down at the Balinese
