Dixie Fried

Well 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



[Chorus:]

An' hollered, rave on children I'm with ya

Rave on cats, he cried

It's almost dawn and the cops are gone

And let's all get dixie fried



Now Dan got happy and he started ravin'

He jerked out his razor , but he wasn't shavin'

And all the cats knew to jump and hop

'Cause he was born an' raised in a butcher shop



[Chorus:]

He hollered, rave on children I'm with ya

Rave on cats, he cried

It's almost dawn and the cops are gone

And 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 led him away

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



[Chorus:]

He hollered, rave on children I'm with ya

Rave on cats, he cried

It's almost dawn and the cops are gone

And let's all get dixie fried

Get fried now!



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 bars he tossed a note to his dear

Said it ain't my fault hon, that I'm in here



[Chorus:]

But hollered, rave on 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
