歌词
For those of you who never been down to Tony Joe White country
Never been at South
I'm gonna tell you something about it so you can
Understand what I'm talkin' about
Down there we got a plant
Grows out in the woods and in the fields
Grows on the rocks and in the trees
And everybody calls it polk salad
That's polk salad
I used to know a girl lived down there
She'd go out in the evenings
And pick herself a little bit of it
And she carried it home
And cook it for supper
'Cause that's about all they had to eat
But they did all right
I said down in Lousiana
Where the alligators grow so mean
Lived a girl who swear to the world
Made the alligators look tame
Salad Annie, Polk Salad Annie
Everybody said it was a shame
Because her mama was a workin' on the chain gang
And man she was a mean, vicious woman
Her daddy was lazy and no count
He claimed he had a bad back
And all the brothers were fit for
Was stealin' watermelons out of my truck patch
Polk Salad Annie, gators got your granny (Chonk)
And everybody told it was a shame
Because her mama was a workin' on the chain gang
(A wretched, spiteful, straight-razor totin' woman)
(Now give me some polk salad, gimme some)
Every day 'fore suppertime
She'd go down by the truck patch
And she pick herself a mess o' polk salad
And carry it home in a tote sack
Polk Salad Annie, gators got your granny (Chonk, chonk)
And everybody said it was a shame
Because her mama was a workin' on the chain gang
(Sock a little)
