Dixie Fried (1956)
Carl Perkins
Well on the outskirts of town there's a little nightspot
Where Dan drops in about five o'clock
Pulled off his coat said the night is short
Reached in his coat and flashed a quart
And hollered rave on the children he's with
Rave on cats he cried
It's almost dawn and the cops are gone
Let's all get Dixie Fried
Well, Dan got happy and he started to rave
He jerked out his razor but he won't shave
And all the cats knew to jump and hop
Cause he was born and raised in a butcher shop
And hollered rave on the children I'm with ya
Rave on cats he cried
It's almost dawn and 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 when they lead him away
He turned his head and this is what he had to say
And hollered rave on the children I'm with ya
Rave on cats he cried
It's almost dawn and 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 Cross Bar they threw a note to his dig
It said it ain't my fault Hon that I'm in here
And hollered rave on the children I'm with ya
Rave on cats he cried
It's almost dawn and the cops ain't gone
And I've been Dixie Fried
