[Intro]
Now, if some of ya'll never been down south too much
I'm gonna tell you a little bit about this
So you'll understand what I'm talkin' about
Down here, we got a plant that grows out in the woods
And the field, lookin' somethin' like a turnip green
Everybody calls it polk salad
Polk salad
Used to know a girl who lived down there
And she'd go out in the evenings and pick her a mess of it
Carry it home and cook it for supper
'Cause that's about all they had to eat
But you know what? They did alright
[Verse 1]
Down in Louisiana
The alligators grow so mean
There lived a little girl that I sure to the world
Made the alligator look tame
[Chorus]
Polk salad Annie
The gators got your granny
Everybody thought it was a shame
Her mama was a-workin' on the chain gang
Mmhmm-hmm
