Dixie Chicken Lyrics - Waiting For Columbus - Little Feat

I've seen the bright lights of Memphis and the Commodore Hotel 

And, underneath a street lamp I met a Southern Belle 

Well, she took me to the river where she cast her spell 

And, in that southern moonlight she sang the song so well 

If you'll be my Dixie Chicken, I'll be your Tennessee Lamb 

And we can walk together down in Dixieland 

Down in Dixieland 

Well, we made all the hot spots - my money flowed like wine 

And then that lowdown southern whiskey 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 of the house at 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

Well, it's been a year since she ran away - guess that guitar player sure could play 

She always liked to sing along - she's always handy 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 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 Dixieland 

Down in Dixieland
