              E
I’ve seen the bright lights of Memphis
                    B
And the commodore hotel
B
And underneath a street lamp
                 E
I met a southern bell
          A              E
Well, she took me to the river
                   B
Where she cast her spell
    B
And in that southern moonlight
                   E
She sang a song so well

          E                                           B
If you’ll be my Dixie chicken, I’ll be your Tennessee lamb
    B                            E
And we can walk together down in Dixieland
A       E
Down in Dixieland

Well, we made all the hot spots
My money flowed like wine
And that low-down Southern whiskey
It 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
On the house by 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

It’s been a year since she ran away
Yes that guitar player sure could play
She always liked to sing along
She thought we’d end it with a song
Then one night 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 down at the bar
Began to sing along
