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
