Dixie Chicken

[Verse 1]

I've seen the bright lights of Memphis and the Commodore Hotel

And underneath a street lamp, I met a southern belle

Well, she took me to the river where she cast her spell

And in that southern moonlight she sang this song so well

[Chorus]

If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb

And we can walk together down in Dixieland

Down in Dixieland

[Verse 2]

Well, we made all the hotspots, my money flowed likе wine

Then the lowdown southеrn whiskey, began to fog my mind

I don't remember church bells or the money I put down

On the white picket fence and boardwalk

On the house at the end of town

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, but boy do I remember the strain of her refrain

And nights we spent together

And the way she called my name

[Chorus]

If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb

And we can walk together down in Dixieland

Down in Dixieland

[Bridge]

Many years since she ran away

Guess that banjo player sure could play

She always liked to sing along

She's handy with a song

[Verse 3]

But then one night in the lobby of the Commodore Hotel

I chanced to meet a bartender who said he knew her well

As he handed me a drink he began to hum a song

And all the boys there at the bar began to sing along

[Chorus]

If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb

And we can walk together down in Dixieland

Down in Dixieland
