Some of you all have been down south too much |
|
Some of you all never been down south too |
|
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 supper time |
|
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 |
|
How wretched, dispiteful, straight-razor totin' woman |
|
Lord have mercy |
|
Sock a little Polk salad to him |
|
You know what? |
|
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 |
|
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 |
