Paroles

Four
Some of y'all still never been down south
Tell you about it one more time
So that you understand what I’m talkin' about
Now down there we got a plant, looks somethin' like a turnip green
’Cept everybody calls it polk salad
That's polk salad
Now I used to know a girl lived down there
She'd go out in the evenings and pick a little bit
Carry it home and cook it for supper
That's about all they had to eat, 'sides cornbread
But they did alright

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 Anniе, polk salad Annie
Everybody said it was a shame
Hеr momma was a workin' on a chain gang
A mean, vicious woman

Everyday 'fore supper time, she'd go down by the truck patch
Pick her a mess of polk salad, and carry it home in a tow sack
Polk salad Annie, the gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
Her momma was a workin’ on a chain gang
A wretched, spiteful, straight-razor totin’ woman

Her daddy was lazy and no-count, claimed he had a bad back
And all her brothers were fit for
Stealin' watermelons out of my truck patch

Polk salad Annie, the gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
Her momma was a workin’ on a chain gang

Sock a little polk salad to me, you know I need me a mess of it
Sock a little, uh
Sock a little, uh, uh
Sock a little
Sock a little
Polk salad Annie, the gators got your granny
