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 |
