If some of yall never been down south too much Im gonna tell you a little bit about this So that youll understand what Im 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 shed 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, shed 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) Songwriters: White, Tony Joe Polk Salad Annie lyrics © EMI Music Publishing
