  • 作曲 : Tony Joe White
    [Intro]
    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's 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, ho
    Anyway, I used to know a girl who 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

    [Verse 1]
    Down in Louisiana
    Where the alligators grow so mean
    Lived a girl that I swear to the world
    Made the alligators look tame

    [Chorus]
    Polk Salad Annie
    Gators got your granny
    Everybody said it was a shame
    'Cause her mama was a-workin' on the chain gang

    [Post-Chorus]
    A mean, vicious
    Straight-razor-totin' woman
    Lord, have mercy

    [Verse 2]
    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

    [Chorus]
    Polk Salad Annie
    Gators got your granny
    Everybody said it was a shame
    'Cause her mama was a-workin' on the chain gang

    [Bridge]
    Sock a little polk salad (Oh)

    [Verse 3]
    Her daddy was a lazy no-count
    Claimed he had a bad back
    All her brothers were fit for
    Was stealin' watermelons out of my truck patch

    [Chorus]
    Polk Salad Annie
    Gators got your granny
    Everybody said it was a shame
    'Cause her mama was a-workin' on the chain gang

    [Interlude]
    Sock a little polk salad to me
    You know I need a
    Sock a little

    [Outro]
    Yeah
    You're right, you're right
    Sock a little polk salad to me
    You know I need a real mess of it
    Sock a little
    Know I need a real mess of it
    Sock a little, sock a

    [Spoken Outro]
    Thank you
    Thank you very much
