Polk Salad Annie |
| 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 talking about |
| Down there we have a plant that grows out |
| In the woods and the fields, looks something’like |
| A turnip green |
| Everybody calls it Polk salad. |
| Polk salad |
| Used to know a girl that lived down there and |
| She’d go out in the evenings and pick a mess of it |
| Carry it home and cook it for supper, 'cause that’s |
| About all they hat to eat, but they did all right |
| Down in Louisiana |
| Where the alligators grow so mean |
| There lived a girl that I sear to the world |
| Made the alligators look tame |
| Ref: |
| Polk salad Annie. |
| Polk salad Annie |
| Everybody said it was a shame |
| Cause her mama was working on the chain-gang |
| (a mean, vicious woman) |
| Everyday 'fore supper time |
| She’d go down by the truck patch |
| And pick her a mess o’Polk salad |
| And carry it home in a tote sack |
| Ref: |
| Polk salad Annie 'Gators got you granny |
| Everybody said it was a shame |
| 'Cause her mama was working' 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 black |
| All her brothers were fit for was stealin' |
| Watermelons out of my truck patch |
| Ref: |
| Polk salad Annie 'Gators got you granny |
| Everybody said it was a shame |
| 'Cause her mama was working' on the chain-gang |
