[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
