I've seen the ^Abright lights of Memphis, and the Commodore Ho^Etel and underneath the streetlamp, I met a southern ^Abelle ^CWell ^C#she ^Dtook me to the ^Ariver, where she cast her ^Espell and in that southern moonlight, she sang a song so ^Awell CHORUS ^EIf you'll ^Abe my dixie chicken, I'll be your Tenessee ^Elamb and we can walk together down in ^ADix^Eiel^Aand, down in ^ADix^Eiel^Aand Well we made all the hotspots, my money flowed like wine and 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 oh but boy do I remember, the strain of her refrain and the nights we spent together, and the way she'd call my name CHORUS Well it's been a year since you ran away, yes that guitar player should could play she always liked to sing along, she's always handy with a song and then one night in the lobby, yeah, 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 CHORUS
