Some of you all never been down |
|
South too much |
|
Some of you all never [Incomprehensible] |
|
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 some 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 grew 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 |
|
What a mean, vicious woman |
|
Everyday before supper time |
|
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 |
|
For the Mama was a working on the |
|
Chain Gang |
|
How wretched, dis spiteful, straight razor, totin' woman |
|
Lord, have mercy |
|
Sock a little |
|
Polk salad to him |
|
You know what |
|
But daddy was a lazy and a no count |
|
Claimed he had a bad back |
|
All her brothers were fit for |
|
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 |
|
Sock a little |
|
Polk salad to him |
|
You know what meets a meal mention |
|
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 |
|
You know what meets a meal |
