Polk Salad Annie - Elvis Live Version

Some of you all never been down south too much
 Some of you all never down south too...
 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 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
 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-a-working on the chain-gang
 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
 How wretched, spiteful, straight-razor totin' woman
 Lord have mercy
 Sock a little Polk salad to him
 But daddy was a lazy and 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-a-working on the chain-gang
 You sock a little Polk salad to him
 You know what meets a meal...
 You sock a little
 (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 (chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon)
 You know what meets a meal mention (chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon)
 Sock a little Polk salad to him (chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon)
 You know what meets a meal... (chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon)
 Chinc, chinc, chinc, chin (chic a bon, chic a bon)
