Polk Salad Annie - Live

Some of you all never been down South too much
 I'm 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, spiteful
 Straight-razor totin' woman
 Lord have mercy
 Sock a little polk salad to me
 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 patch
 Polk salad Annie
 'Gators got your granny
 Everybody said it was a shame
 Because mama was working on the chain gang

 Sock a little polk salad to me
 You know what makes a meal mention
 You sock a little
 Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah

 Chic a bon, chic a bon
