I seen the bright lights of Memphis
  And the Commodore Hotel
  And it was there beneath the streetlamp
  Where I met a southern belle
  Well she took me to the river
  Where she cast her spell
  And it was 'neath that Memphis moonlight
  She sang this 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
  We hit all the hotspots
  My money flowed like wine
  Till the lowdown southern whiskey
  Began to fog my mind
  Well I don't remember church bells
  Or the money I put down
  On the white picket fence and boardwalk
  At the house on the edge of town
  Now 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 Dixie land
  Down in Dixie land
  It's been a year since she ran away
  Guess that guitar player sure could play
  She always liked to sing along
  He was always handy with a song
  Then one night in the lobby
  Of the Commodore Hotel
  I by chance met 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
  And we can walk together
  Down in Dixie land
  Down in Dixie land
  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
