If some of yaand'll never been down south too much...
iand'm gonna tell you a little bit about this, so that youand'll understand
what iand'm talking about
down there we have a plant that grows out in the
woods and the fields,
looks somethinand' like a turnip green.
everybody calls it polk salad. polk salad.
used to know a girl that lived down there and
sheand'd go out in the evenings and pick a mess of it...
carry it home and cook it for supper, and'cause thatand'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 and'fore supper time sheand'd go down by the truck patch
and pick her a mess oand' polk salad and carry it home in a tote sack
Polk salad annie and'gators got you granny
everybody said it was a shame
and'cause her mama was aworkinand' on the chain-gang
(a wretched, spiteful, straight-razor totinand' 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 stealinand' 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 workingand' on the chain gang
(sock a little polk salad to me, you know i need a mess of it)
