Little Feat - Dixie Chicken Lyrics
Ive seen the bright lights of MemphisAnd the Commodore HotelAnd underneath a street lamp, i met a southern belleOh she took me to the river, where she cast her spellAnd in that southern moonlight, she sang this song so wellIf youll be my Dixie chicken ill be your Tenessee lambAnd we can walk together down in DixielandDown in DixielandWe made all the hotspots, my money flowed like wineThen the low-down southern whiskey, yea, began to fog my mindAnd i dont remember church bells, or the money i put downOn the white picket fence and boardwalkOn the house at the end of townOh but boy do i remember the strain of her refrainAnd the nights we spent togetherAnd the way she called my nameIf youll be my Dixie chicken ill be your Tenessee lambAnd we can walk together down in DixielandDown in DixielandMany years since she ran awayYes that guitar player sure could playShe always liked to sing alongShe always handy with a songBut then one night at the lobby of the Commodore HotelI chanced to meet a bartender who said he knew her wellAnd as he handed me a drink he began to hum a songAnd all the boys there, at the bar, began to sing alongIf youll be my Dixie chicken ill be your Tenessee lambAnd we can walk together down in DixielandDown in Dixieland, Down in Dixieland
