Polk Salad Annie lyrics Lyrics

Polk Salad Annie lyrics Some of you all never been down South too much... I 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 him Yeah, you know what, yeah, yeah But 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 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 him You know what meets a meal mention 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 him You know what meets a meal mention Sock a little Polk salad to him You know what meets a meal mention Chinc, chinc, chinc, chin, ling, ling ling
