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
