Dixie Chicken - John Sebastian

I seen the bright lights of Memphis and the commodore hotel

And underneath a street lamp

I met a southern belle

She took me to the river

It was there she cast her spell

And in that southern moonlight she sang her 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

Well we made all the hot spots

My money flowed like wine

Then that low down southern whiskey began to fog my mind

And I don't remember chuck bells or the house on the edge of twon

With the white picket fence and boardwalk

Or the money I put down

But boy do I remember the strain of her refrain

And the nights we spent together

And the promise that we made

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 she ran away

I guess that guitar player sure could play

He was always handy with a song

I guess she liked to sing along

Cause leter on in the lobby of the commodore hotel

I chanced to meet 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 down 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
