[00:01.05] Tony Joe White - Polk Salad Annie
[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
[03:29.22]
