Thank you
ย
Some you all never been down South too much
Some y'all never been South too
I'm gonna 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 to pick a mess of it
Carry it home and cook it for supper, 'cause that's about all they had to eat
But they did all right
ย
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 Annie
'Gators got your granny (shook, shook)
Everybody said it was a shame
For the mama was working on the chain-gang
A mean, vicious woman
Ah!
Everyday before suppertime
She'd go down by the truck patch
And pick her a mess of Polk salad
And carry it home in a tote sack
Polk salad Annie
'Gators got you granny (Ooo)
Everybody said it was a shame
Because the mama was working on the chain-gang
A wretched, spiteful, straight razor toting woman
Lord have mercy
ย
Sock a little Polk salad to me
You know what
ย
Her daddy was a lazy and no-account
Claimed he had a bad back
All her brothers were fit for
Stealing watermelons out of my truck patch
Polk salad Annie
'Gators got your granny (shook, shook)
Everybody said it was a shame
Because the mama was working on the chain-gang
Oh
ย
He sock a little Polk salad to me
You know what need a meal mention
You sock a little (hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah)
ย
Sock a little Polk salad to me
You know what need a meal mention
Sock a little Polk salad you know what need a meal
Chang chang a chang chang
Chang chang a chang chang laga la la
Chang chang a chang chang laga
Chang chang a chang chang
Chang chang a chang chang
Chang chang a chang chang
Chang chang a chang chang lady
Chang chang
ย
Thank you
