Lyrics Polk Salad Annie (Live) - Tony Joe White
Now
some
of
y'all
never
been
down
South
too
much
I'm
gonna
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
this
So
that
you'll
understand
What
I'm
talking
about
Down
there
we
have
a
plant
that
grows
out
In
the
woods
and
the
fields
Looks
somethin'
like
a
turnip
green
Everybody
calls
it
Polk
salad,
polk
salad,
huh
Used
to
know
a
girl
that
lived
down
there
and
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
all
right
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,
polk
salad
Annie
Everybody
said
it
was
a
shame
'Cause
her
mama
was
working
on
a
chain-gang
A
mean
business
woman
Now,
everyday
'fore
supper
time
She'd
go
down
by
the
truck
patch
And
pick
her
a
mess
o'
Polk
salad
And
carry
it
home
in
a
tote
sack
Polk
salad
Annie
The
gators
got
you
granny
(Chomp,
chomp,
chomp)
Everybody
said
it
was
a
shame
Cause
her
mama
was
a-workin'
on
a
chain
gang
A
wretched,
spiteful,
straight-razor
totin'
woman
Lord
have
mercy,
pick
a
mess
of
it
Her
daddy
was
lazy
and
no
count
Claimed
he
had
a
bad
back
All
her
brothers
were
fit
for
Was
stealin'
watermelons
out
of
my
truck
patch
Polk
salad
Annie
The
gators
got
your
granny
(Woo
hoo)
Everybody
said
it
was
a
shame
'Cause
her
mama
was
a-working
on
a
chain
gang
Sock
a
little
polk
salad
to
me
Know
I
need
a
mess
of
it
Ooh,
good
God
Got
to
have
me
