Version 1Dixie Fried:Carl Perkins. Sun Records -1956. #1. A 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: D He hollered, Rave on, children, I'm with you! A Rave on, cats, he cried. D It's almost dawn, the cops are gone. E A Let's all get Dixie fried. #2. A 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. CHORUS: D He hollered, Rave on, children, I'm with you! A Rave on, cats, he cried. D It's almost dawn, the cops are gone. E A Let's all get Dixie fried. #3. A Well, 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. CHORUS: D He hollered, Rave on, children, I'm with you! A Rave on, cats, he cried. D It's almost dawn, the cops are gone. E A Let's all get Dixie fried. #4. A Now, Dan was the bravest man that we ever saw. He let us all know he wasn't scared of the law. Thru the black cross-bars he tossed a note.. He said, It ain't my fault, hon, that I'm in here. CHORUS: D He hollered, Rave on, children, I'm with you! A Rave on, cats, he cried. D It's almost dawn, and the cops ain't gone. E A And I been Dixie fried. A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
