| If some of ya’ll never been down south too much
|
| Some y’all never been down s-
|
| I’m gonna tell you a little story so’s you’ll understand what I’m talkin' about
|
| Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods, and the fields
|
| And it looks somethin' like a turnip green
|
| Everybody calls it polk salad
|
| Now that’s 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
|
| Because that’s about all they had to eat
|
| But they did all right
|
| Down in Louisiana, where the alligators grow so mean
|
| Lived a girl, that I swear to the world
|
| Made the alligators look tame
|
| Polk salad Annie, gators got your granny
|
| Everybody said it was a shame
|
| Because her momma was a workin' on the chain gang
|
| A mean vicious woman
|
| Everyday before 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
|
| Because her momma was a workin' on the chain gang
|
| A wretched, spiteful, straight-razor totin' woman
|
| Lord have Mercy, pick a mess of it
|
| Sock a little polk salad to me
|
| 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
|
| Because her momma was a workin' on the chain gang
|
| Yeah, sock a little polk salad to me, you know I need me a mess of it
|
| Sock a little
|
| (Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom)
|
| (Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom)
|
| Sock a little polk salad to me, you know I need a real mess of it (chick-a-boom)
|
| Sock a little polk salad, you know I need a real (chick-a-boom)
|
| Ching-ching-ching-ching-a-ling (chick-a-boom)
|
| Ching-ching-ching-ching-a-ling (chick-a-boom)
|
| Ching-ching-ching-ching-a-ling (chick-a-boom)
|
| Ching-ching-ching-ching-a-ling (chick-a-boom)
|
| Ching-ching-ching-ching-a-ling (chick-a-boom)
|
| Ching-ching-ching-ching-a-ling (chick-a-boom)
|
| Ching-ching-ching-ching-a-ling (chick-a-boom)
|
| Ching-ching-ching-ching-a-ling (chick-a-boom)… |
