1
If some of ya'll never been down south too much
2
I'm gonna tell you a little bit about this
3
So that you'll understand what I'm talkin' about
4
Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods
5
And in the fields looks somethin' like a turnip green
6
And everybody calls it polk salad, polk salad
7
Used to know a girl lived down there
8
And she'd go out in the evenings and pick her a mess of it
9
Carry it home and cook it for supper
10
'Cause thats about all they had to eat, but they did all right
11
Down in Louisiana, where the alligators grow so mean
12
There lived a girl, that I swear to the world
13
Made the alligators look tame
14
Polk salad Annie, polk salad Annie
15
Everybody said it was a shame
16
Cause her momma was a workin' on the chain gang
17
(A mean vicious woman)
18
Everyday ?for supper time, she'd go down by the truck patch
19
And pick her a mess of polk salad, and carry it home in a tow sack
20
Polk salad Annie, the gators got your granny
21
Everybody says it was a shame
22
Cause her momma was a workin' on the chain gang
23
(A wretched, spiteful, straight-razor totin' woman
24
Lord have Mercy, pick a mess of it)
25
Her daddy was lazy and no count, claimed he had a bad back
26
All her brothers were fit for was stealin' watermelons
27
Out of my truck patch
28
Polk salad Annie, the gators got your granny
29
Everybody said it was a shame
30
Cause her momma was a workin' on the chain gang
31
(Sock a little polk salad to me, you know I need me a mess of it)
