lirik lagu tony joe white - polk salad annie (50th anniversary edition)
[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
[chorus]
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
[verse 3]
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
[chorus]
polk salad annie, the gators got your granny
everybody said it was a shame
her momma was a workin’ on a chain gang
[outro]
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
