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
GF# riff to A
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.
Chorus
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. Fade out
Nice easy tune very straight forward.
