On Your Way Down 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 a 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 

Then that low down 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 

But boy do I remember the strain of her refrain 

The nights we spent together, and the way she called my name

Well it's been a year since she ran away 

Yes 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 sign 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
