Dixie Chicken

[Verse 1]
I've seen the bright lights of Memphis and the Commodore Hotel
And underneath a streetlamp, 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 a 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, whoa-oh-ooh

[Verse 2]
Well, we made all the hot spots, my money flowed like winе
Then that low down southern whiskey bеgan to fog my mind
And I don't remember church bells or the house on the edge of town
With the white picket fence and boardwalk, all 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

[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, whoa-oh-ooh

[Verse 3]
It's been a year since 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 later 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 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, whoa-oh-ooh
Ooh, ooh
