[Intro]
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

[Verse 1]
Down in Louisiana, where the alligators grow so mean
Lived a girl, that I swear to the world
Made the alligators look tame

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
