Elvis Presley - Polk Salad Annie (Film Mix) Lyrics

Lyrics Polk Salad Annie (Film Mix) - Elvis Presley



What are you lookin' at back there?
Some of y'all never been down South too much
I'm gonna tell you a little story
So you'll understand what I'm talkin' about
Down there, we have a plant that grows out in the woods and the fields
And it looks somethin' like a turnip green
And everybody calls it polk salad
Now that's polk salad, oh
One, two, three, four
One, one, two, three, four
One, one, two, three, four
One, two, three, four, four
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Anyway, I used to know a girl lived down there
She'd go out in the evenings and pick her a mess of it
Carry it home and cook it for supper
'Cause that's about all they had to eat
But they did alright
Down in Louisiana
Where the alligators grow so mean
There 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
'Cause her mama was a-workin' on the chain gang
A mean, vicious
Straight-razor-totin' woman
Lord, have mercy
Every day before suppertime
She'd go down by the truck patch
And pick her a mess of polk salad
And carry it home in a tow sack
Polk Salad Annie
Gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
'Cause her mama was a-workin' on the chain gang
Oh
You sock a little polk salad
Oh
Her daddy was a lazy and no-count
Claimed he had a bad back
All her brothers were fit for
Stealin' watermelons out of my truck patch
Polk Salad Annie
Gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
'Cause her mama was a-workin' on the chain gang
Oh
You sock a little salad
Know I need
Sock a little
Yeah
You're right, you're right
Sock a little polk salad to me (chicka-boom-chicka-boom)
Know I need a real mess of it (chicka-boom-boom-boom, chicka-boom-chicka-boom)
Sock a little (chicka-boom-boom-boom, chicka-boom-chicka-boom)
Know I need a real mess of it (chicka-boom-boom-boom, chicka-boom-chicka-boom)
Sock a little (chicka-boom-boom-boom, chicka-boom-chicka-boom)
Sock a, sock a (chicka-boom-boom-boom, chicka-boom-chicka-boom)
(Chicka-boom-boom-boom, chicka-boom-chicka-boom)
Oh
Thank you
Thank you very much
