| Lyrics：Tony Joe White Music：Tony Joe White | |
| Some of you all never been down South too much... | |
| I' gonna tell you a little story, so you'll understand where 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. | |
| 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 | |
| Everybody said it was a shame | |
| For the mama was working on the chain-gang | |
| What a mean, vicious woman | |
| 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 | |
| Everybody said it was a shame | |
| 'Cause the mama was working on the chain-gang | |
| Whoo, how wretched, dispiteful, straight-razor totin' woman, | |
| Lord have mercy. | |
| Sock a little Polk salad to him | |
| Yeah, you know what, yeah, yeah | |
| But daddy was a lazy and a no-count | |
| Claimed he had a bad back | |
| All her brothers were fit for | |
| Was stealing watermelons out of my truck | |
| For once Polk salad Annie | |
| 'Gators got your granny | |
| Everybody said it was a shame | |
| For the mama was working on the chain-gang | |
| Sock a little Polk salad to him | |
| You know what meets a meal mention | |
| You sock a little | |
| Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah | |
| Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon | |
| Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon | |
| Sock a little Polk salad to him | |
| You know what meets a meal mention | |
| Sock a little Polk salad to him | |
| You know what meets a meal mention | |
| Chinc, chinc, chinc, chin, ling, ling ling |
