Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've seen the bright lights of Memphis and the Commodore Hotel

And underneath a street lamp, I met a southern belle

Well, she took me to the river where she cast her spell

And in that southern moonlight, she sang the 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

[Verse 2]

Yeah, well, we made all the hot spots, my money flowed like wine

And then that lowdown southern whiskey began to fog my mind

And I don't remember church bells or the money I put down

On the white picket fence and boardwalk of the house at the edge of town

Oh, but boy do I remember the strain of her refrain

And the nights we spent together, and the way she called my name

[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

[Verse 3]

Yeah well, it's been a year since she ran away

Guess that guitar player sure could play

She always liked to sing along

She's always handy with a song

Then one night in the lobby, yeah, 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
