dixie chicken - john sebastian lyrics

[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
