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 somethin` 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 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 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
Polk salad Annie `Gators got you granny
Everybody said it was a shame
`Cause her mama was aworkin` 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 mama was a working` on the chain gang
(Sock a little polk salad to me, you know I need a mess of it Send " Polk Salad Annie" Ringtone to your Cell
