Polk Salad Annie - Tony Joe White[00:05:09]
If some of ya'll never been[00:05:09]
Down south too much[00:05:09]
I'm gonna tell you a little bit about this[00:05:09]
So that you'll understand[00:05:09]
What I'm talking about[00:05:09]
Down there we have a plant[00:05:09]
That grows out in the woods[00:05:09]
And in the fields looks something[00:05:09]
Like a turnip green[00:05:09]
And everybody calls it polk salad[00:05:09]
Polk salad[00:05:09]
Used to know a girl lived down there[00:05:09]
And she'd go out in the evenings[00:05:09]
And pick her a mess of it[00:05:09]
Carry it home and cook it for supper[00:05:09]
'Cause that's about all they had to eat[00:05:09]
But they did all right[00:05:09]
Down in Louisiana[00:05:09]
Where the alligators grow so mean[00:05:09]
There lived a girl that I swear to the world[00:05:09]
Made the alligators look tame[00:05:09]
Polk salad Annie polk salad Annie[00:05:09]
Everybody said it was a shame[00:05:09]
Cause her momma was[00:05:09]
A working on the chain gang[00:05:09]
(A mean vicious woman)[00:05:09]
Everyday 'fore supper time[00:05:09]
She'd go down by the truck patch[00:05:09]
And pick her a mess of polk salad[00:05:09]
And carry it home in a tow sack[00:05:09]
Polk salad Annie[00:05:09]
The gators got your granny[00:05:09]
Everybody says it was a shame[00:05:09]
Cause her momma was[00:05:09]
A working on the chain gang[00:05:09]
(A wretched spiteful[00:05:09]
Straight-razor toting woman[00:05:09]
Lord have Mercy pick a mess of it)[00:05:09]
Her daddy was lazy and no count[00:05:09]
Claimed he had a bad back[00:05:09]
All her brothers were fit[00:05:09]
For was stealing watermelons[00:05:09]
Out of my truck patch[00:05:09]
Polk salad Annie[00:05:09]
The gators got your granny[00:05:09]
Everybody said it was a shame[00:05:09]
Cause her momma was a working[00:05:09]
On the chain gang[00:05:09]
Sock a little polk salad to me[00:05:09]
You know I need me a mess of it[00:05:09]
Come on good girl[00:05:09]
Gotta help me[00:05:09]
All to all[00:05:09]
