Lyrics:Tony Joe White Music:Tony Joe White | |
Some of you all never been down South too much... | |
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 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, dispiteful, straight-razor totin' woman, | |
Lord have mercy. | |
Sock a little Polk salad to him | |
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 | |
For once Polk salad Annie | |
'Gators got your granny | |
Everybody said it was a shame | |
For the mama was working on the chain-gang | |
Sock a little Polk salad to him | |
You know what meets a meal mention | |
You sock a little | |
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah | |
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 | |
You know what meets a meal mention | |
Sock a little Polk salad to him | |
You know what meets a meal mention | |
Chinc, chinc, chinc, chin, ling, ling ling |
