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