[Intro]
Some of y'all never been down South too much
I'm going to tell you a little story, so you'll understand what 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 and pick a mess of it
Carry it home and cook it for supper, because that's about all they had to eat
But they did all right
[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 Annie
Gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
'Cause her mama was a-working on the chain-gang
A mean, vicious woman
[Verse 2]
Every day before suppertime
She'd go down by the truck patch
And pick her a mess of polk salad
And carry it home in a tow sack
Some of y'all never been down South too much
I'm going to tell you a little story, so you'll understand what 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 and pick a mess of it
Carry it home and cook it for supper, because that's about all they had to eat
But they did all right
[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 Annie
Gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
'Cause her mama was a-working on the chain-gang
A mean, vicious woman
[Verse 2]
Every day before suppertime
She'd go down by the truck patch
And pick her a mess of polk salad
And carry it home in a tow sack
