Dixie Friend

Carl Perkins -Dixie Fried

On the outskirts of town there's a little night spot

Dan dropped in about five o'clock

Pulled off his coat said ＂The night is short ＂

He reached in his pocket and he flashed a quart

He hollered ＂Rave on children I'm with ya

Rave on cats ＂he cried

＂It's almost dawn the cops are gone

Let's all get Dixie fried ＂

Well Dan got happy and he started raving

He pulled out a razor but he wasn't shaving

And all the cats knew to jump and hop

Cause he was born and raised in a butcher shop

He hollered ＂Rave on children I'm with ya

Rave on cats ＂he cried

＂It's almost dawn the cops are gone

Let's all get Dixie fried ＂

The cops heard Dan when he started to shout

They all ran in to see what it was about

And I heard him holler as they led him away

He turned his head and this is what he had to say

He hollered ＂Rave on children I'm with ya

Rave on cats ＂he cried

＂It's almost dawn the cops are gone

Let's all get Dixie fried ＂

Now Dan was the bravest man that we ever saw

He let us all know he wasn't scared of the law

And through The black crossed bar he tossed a note

And it said ＂It ain't my fault hon that I'm in here ＂

But He hollered ＂Rave on children I'm with you

Rave on cats ＂he cried

＂It's almost dawn the cops ain't gone

And I've been Dixie fried
