[00:04.29] | |
[00:09.42] | |
[00:13.35] | If some of ya'll never been down south too much |
[00:15.07] | I'm gonna tell you a little bit about this |
[00:16.80] | So that you'll understand what I'm talking about |
[00:22.23] | Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods |
[00:24.28] | And in the fields looks something like a turnip green |
[00:28.29] | And everybody calls it polk salad, polk salad |
[00:38.34] | Used to know a girl lived down there |
[00:39.79] | And she'd go out in the evenings and pick her a mess of it |
[00:41.77] | Carry it home and cook it for supper |
[00:45.71] | 'Cause thats about all they had to eat, but they did all right |
[00:51.47] | |
[00:52.72] | Down in Louisiana, where the alligators grow so mean |
[00:59.90] | There lived a girl, that I swear to the world |
[01:03.88] | Made the alligators look tame |
[01:06.50] | Polk salad Annie, polk salad Annie |
[01:13.97] | Everybody said it was a shame |
[01:17.87] | Cause her momma was a working on the chain gang |
[01:22.31] | (A mean vicious woman) |
[01:26.05] | |
[01:33.09] | Everyday 'fore supper time, she'd go down by the truck patch |
[01:40.21] | And pick her a mess of polk salad, and carry it home in a tow sack |
[01:47.02] | Polk salad Annie, the gators got your granny |
[01:54.42] | Everybody says it was a shame |
[01:57.99] | Cause her momma was a working on the chain gang |
[02:01.78] | (A wretched, spiteful, straight-razor toting woman |
[02:09.48] | Lord have Mercy, pick a mess of it) |
[02:13.49] | |
[02:33.14] | Her daddy was lazy and no count, claimed he had a bad back |
[02:40.20] | All her brothers were fit for was stealing watermelons |
[02:44.93] | Out of my truck patch |
[02:46.78] | Polk salad Annie, the gators got your granny |
[02:53.58] | Everybody said it was a shame |
[02:58.15] | Cause her momma was a working on the chain gang |
[03:02.56] | |
[03:08.54] | Sock a little polk salad to me, you know I need me a mess of it |
[03:16.69] | Come on good girl |
[03:19.49] | |
[03:26.99] | Gotta help me |
