Dixie Fried Lyrics - Carl Perkins

Well on the outskirts of town, there's a little night spot 

Dan dropped in about five o'clock 

Pulled off his coat, said "The night is short." 

He reached in his pocket and he flashed a quart 

And hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with ya! 

Rave on, cats," he cried 

"It's almost dawn and the cops are gone 

Let's all get Dixie fried" 

Now, Dan got happy and he started raving 

He jerked out his razor, but he wasn't shaving 

And all the cats knew to jump and hop, 

'Cause he was born and raised in a butcher shop 

He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with ya! 

Rave on, cats," he cried 

"It's almost dawn and the cops are gone 

Let's all get Dixie fried." 

The cops heard Dan when he started to shout 

They all ran in to see what it was about 

And I heard him holler when they led him away 

He turned his head, and this is what he had to say 

Hollered, "Rave on children, I'm with ya! 

Rave on, cats," he cried 

"It's almost dawn and the cops are gone 

Let's all get Dixie fried" 

Now, Dan was the bravest man that we ever saw 

He let us all know he wasn't scared of the law 

And through the black crossed bar he tossed a note to his dig 

It said "It ain't my fault, hun, that I'm in here" 

But hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with you! 

Rave on, cats," he cried 

"It's almost dawn and the cops ain't gone, 

And I've been Dixie fried
