Dixie Chicken

[00:15.57] I've seen the bright lights of Memphis and the Commodore Hotel
[00:23.09] And underneath a street lamp, I met a Southern Belle
[00:29.33] Well, she took me to the river where she casts her spell
[00:36.18] And in that southern moonlight, she sang the song so well
[00:41.68] If you'll be my Dixie Chicken, I'll be your Tennessee Lamb
[00:48.97] And we can walk together down in Dixieland
[00:54.53] Down in Dixieland
[00:58.93]
[01:11.33] Well, we made all the hot spots, my money flowed like wine
[01:17.64] And then that lowdown southern whiskey began to fog my mind
[01:24.08] And I don't remember church bells or the money I put down
[01:30.35] On the white picket fence and boardwalk of the house at the edge of town
[01:36.70] Oh, but boy do I remember the strain of her refrain
[01:43.39] And the nights we spent together, and the way she called my name
[01:49.03] If you'll be my Dixie Chicken, I'll be your Tennessee Lamb
[01:56.16] And we can walk together down in Dixieland
[02:01.71] Down in Dixieland
[02:06.18]
[02:23.58] Well, it's been a year since she ran away
[02:28.08] Guess that guitar player sure could play
[02:31.42] She always liked to sing along, she's always handy with a song
[02:37.57] Then one night in the lobby of the Commodore Hotel
[02:43.31] I chanced to meet a bartender who said he knew her well
[02:49.05] And as he handed me a drink, he began to hum a song
[02:56.05] And all the boys there at the bar began to sing along
[03:01.56] If you'll be my Dixie Chicken, I'll be your Tennessee Lamb
[03:08.68] And we can walk together down in Dixieland
[03:14.27] Down in Dixieland
[03:19.95]
