Trivia, story behind the song, etc.

Lyrics

Dixie Chicken
Little Feat

Lyrics: Lowell George, Martin Kibbee
Music: Lowell George, Martin Kibbee



    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

    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

    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

    [chorus]

    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 light
    He began to hum a song
    And all the boys there at the bar
    Began to sign along

    [chorus]

This has got to be one of my favorite songs not only to listen to, but to perform! These guys do a great version. Cater (talk/contribs) 12:25, September 17, 2008 (AKDT)
