Lyrics

I've seen the bright lights of Memphis
And the Commodore Hotel
And underneath the street lamp
I met a southern belle
Well, she took me to the river
Where she cast the spell
And in that southern moonlight
She sang a song so well
If you'll be my Dixie chicken
I'll be your Tennessee lamb
And we can walk together
Down in Dixieland, down in Dixieland
Well, we made all the hot spots
My money flowed like wine
Low down southern whiskey, yeah
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
If you'll be my Dixie chicken
I'll be your Tennessee lamb
And we can walk together
Down in Dixieland, down in Dixieland
Well, it's been a year since she ran away
And I guess that guitar player sure could play
She always liked to sing along
She's always handy with a song
And 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
If you'll be my Dixie chicken
I'll be your Tennessee lamb
We can walk together
Down in Dixieland, down in Dixieland
