polk salad annie lyrics
[intro]
now, if some of ya’ll never been down south too much
i’m gonna tell you a little bit about this
so you’ll understand what i’m talkin’ about
down here, we got a plant that grows out in the woods
and the field, lookin’ somethin’ like a turnip green
everybody calls it polk salad
polk salad
used to know a girl who 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 you know what? they did alright

[verse 1]
down in louisiana
the alligators grow so mean
there lived a little girl that i sure to the world
made the alligator look tame
[chorus]
polk salad annie
the gators got your granny
everybody thought it was a shame
her mama was a-workin’ on the chain gang
mmhmm-hmm

[post-chorus]
a mean, vicious woman
razor-totin’ son-of-a-gun

[verse 2]
every day ‘fore suppertime
she’d go out to the truck patch
and pick her a mess of polk salad, lord
and carry it home in a tote sack

[chorus]
polk salad annie
the gators got your granny
everybody said it was a shame
her mama was a-workin’ on the chain gang
mmhmm-hmm

[post-chorus]
i mean, she was spiteful
wretched woman
lord, have mercy, pick a mess of it
[verse 3]
her daddy was a lazy no-‘count
claimed he had a bad back
all her brothers were fit for
was stealin’ watermelon outta my truck patch

[chorus]
polk salad annie
the gators got your granny
everybody said it was a shame
her mama was a-workin’ on the chain gang
mmhmm-hmm

[post-chorus]
oh, that lady
sock a little polk salad
mmhmm
i’ll get you a big ol’ mess of it
i’ll get you some of that polk salad
know what i’m talkin’ about
