Dixie Fried

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

Dan dropped in about five o'clock

Took 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 is 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 is gone

Let's all get Dixie fried, fried, fried, yeah"

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 is gone

Let's all get Dixie fried, fried, 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 to his dear

"It ain't my fault, sugar, that I'm in here"

For hollering, "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"
