Polk salad Annie - Tony Joe White
Composed by：Tony Joe White
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 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 she'd go out in the
Evenings and pick her 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 momma was a workin' on the chain gang
A mean vicious woman
Every day 'for suppertime
She'd 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
Everybody said it was a shame
'Cause her momma was a workin' on the chain gang
Sattdle in ain't it
