Polk Salad Annie |
| Some of you all never been down South too much… |
| I’m gonna tell you a little story, so you’ll understand where I’m talking about |
| Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods and the fields, |
| and it looks something like a turnip green. |
| Everybody calls it Polk salad. |
| Now that’s Polk salad. |
| Used to know a girl that lived down there and |
| she’d go out in the evenings to pick a mess of it… |
| Carry it home and cook it for supper, 'cause 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 |
| For the mama was working on the chain-gang |
| What a mean, vicious woman |
| Everyday before suppertime |
| She’d go down by the truck patch |
| And pick her a mess of Polk salad |
| And carry it home in a tote sack |
| Polk salad Annie |
| 'Gators got you granny |
| Everybody said it was a shame |
| 'Cause the mama was working on the chain-gang |
| Whoo, how wretched, dispiteful, straight-razor totin' woman, |
| Lord have mercy. |
| Sock a little Polk salad to me |
| Yeah, you know what, yeah, yeah |
| Her daddy was a lazy and a no-count |
| Claimed he had a bad back |
| All her brothers were fit for |
| Was stealing watermelons out of my truck patch |
| For once Polk salad Annie |
| 'Gators got your granny |
| Everybody said it was a shame |
| For the mama was working on the chain-gang |
| Sock a little Polk salad to me |
| You know I need a meal miss |
| You sock a little |
| Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah |
| (Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon |
| Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon) |
| Sock a little Polk salad to me |
| You know I need a meal miss |
| Sock a little Polk salad to him |
| You know I need a meal |
| Chinc, chinc, chinc, chin, ling, ling ling |
