Dixie Chicken

I seen the bright lights of Memphis 

And the Commodore Hotel 

And it was there beneath the streetlamp 

Where I met a southern belle 

Well she took me to the river 

Where she cast her spell 

And it was 'neath that Memphis moonlight 

She sang this song so well 

If you'll be my Dixie chicken 

I'll be your Tennessee lamb 

And we can walk together 

Down in Dixie land 

Down in Dixie land 

We hit all the hotspots 

My money flowed like wine 

Till the lowdown southern whiskey 

Began to fog my mind 

Well I don't remember church bells 

Or the money I put down 

On the white picket fence and boardwalk 

At the house on the edge of town 

Now but boy do I remember 

The strain of her refrain 

And the nights we spent together 

And the way she called my name 

If you'll be my Dixie chicken 

I'll be your Tennessee lamb 

And we can walk together 

Down in Dixie land 

Down in Dixie land 

It's been a year since she ran away 

Guess that guitar player sure could play 

She always liked to sing along 

He was always handy with a song 

Then one night in the lobby 

Of the Commodore Hotel 

I by chance met a bartender 

Who said he knew her well 

And as he handed me a drink 

He began to hum a song 

And all the boys there at the bar 

Began to sing along 

If you'll be my Dixie chicken 

I'll be your Tennessee lamb 

And we can walk together 

Down in Dixie land 

Down in Dixie land 

If you'll be my Dixie chicken 

I'll be your Tennessee lamb 

And we can walk together 

Down in Dixie land 

Down in Dixie land
