Dixie Fried Lyrics - Dixie Fried - James Luther Dickinson

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

Dan dropped in about five o'clock 

Took off his jacket, said, the night is short 

He reached in his pocket and he flashed a quart 

He hollered, rave on, children, I'm with you 

Rave on, cats, he cried 

It's almost dawn, the cops are gone 

Let's all get Dixie fried 

Well, Dan got happy and he started raving 

He pulled out a 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 you 

Rave on, cats, he cried 

It's almost dawn, the cops are gone 

Let's all get Dixie fried 

Well, the cops heard Dan when he started to shout 

They all ran in to see what it was about 

And I heard him holler as they led him away 

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

He hollered, rave on, children, I'm with you 

Rave on, cats, he cried 

It's almost dawn, 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 

The black dog barked, but the boy didn't flinch 

He said, it ain't my fault, hon, that I been pinched 

He hollered, rave on, children, I'm with you 

Rave on, cats, he cried 

It's almost dawn, the cops are gone 

Let's all get Dixie fried 

Now, Dan was the bravest man we ever saw 

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

And I heard him holler as they led him away 

He turned his head and this was what he had to say 

He hollered, rave on, children, I'm with you 

Rave on, cats, he cried 

It's almost dawn, the cops are gone 

Let's all get Dixie fried 

Yeah, it's almost dawn, the cops ain't gone 

And I've been Dixie fried
