[Verse 1]
I've seen the Abright lights of Memphis
And the Commodore HotelE7  
And E7underneath a street lamp I met a Southern belleA  
Where she Dtook me to the riAver where she cast her spellE7  
And in that Southern moonlight she sang a song so wellA  
[Chorus]
If you'll Abe my dixie chicken
I'll be your Tenessee lambE7  
And we can walk together down in Adixieland
Down in dixieland
[Verse 2]
Well Awe made all the hot spots. My money flowed like wineE7  
Then that low down Southern whiskey began to fog my mindA  
And I Ddon't remember church Abells or the money I put downE7  
On the E7white picket fence and boardwalk of the house at the edge of townA  
But Dboy do I remeAmber the strain of her refrainE7  
The nights we spent together, and the way she called my nameA  
[Chorus]
If you'll Abe my dixie chicken
I'll be your Tenessee lambE7  
And we can walk together down in Adixieland
Down in dixieland
[Verse 3]
Well Ait's been a year since she ran away
Yes that guitar player sure could playE7  
She always liked to sing along
She's always handy with Aa song
DThen one night in the Alobby of the Commodore HoteE7l
I chanced to meet a bartender who said he knew her wellA  
And Das he handed me Aa drink he began to hum a songE7  
And all E7the boys there, at the bar, began to sign alongA  
[Chorus]
If you'll Abe my dixie chicken
I'll be your Tenessee lambE7  
And we can walk together down in Adixieland
Down in dixieland

I've seen the bright lights of Memphis

And the Commodore Hotel

And underneath a street lamp I met a Southern belle

D A E7

Where she took me to the river where she cast her spell

And in that Southern moonlight she sang a song so well

[Chorus]

If you'll be my dixie chicken

I'll be your Tenessee lamb

And we can walk together down in dixieland

Down in dixieland

[Verse 2]

A E7

Well we made all the hot spots. My money flowed like wine

Then that low down Southern whiskey began to fog my mind

D A E7

And I don't remember church bells or the money I put down

E7 A

On the white picket fence and boardwalk of the house at the edge of town

D A E7

But boy do I remember the strain of her refrain

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

[Chorus]

If you'll be my dixie chicken

I'll be your Tenessee lamb

And we can walk together down in dixieland

Down in dixieland

[Verse 3]

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

D A E7

And as he handed me a drink he began to hum a song

If you'll be my dixie chicken

I'll be your Tenessee lamb

And we can walk together down in dixieland
