[Intro]
E
[Verse]
E
If some of y'all never been down South too much
E
I'm gonna tell you a little bit about this, so that
E
You'll understand what I'm talking about
E
Down there we have a plant that grows out
E
In the woods and the fields, looks something like a turnip green
E B E
Everybody calls it Polk salad. I said Polk salad
[Verse 2]
E
Used to know a girl that lived down there and she'd go out in the evenings and pick a
mess of it
E
Carry it home and cook it for supper, 'cause that's about all they hat to eat, but they
did all right
[Verse 3]
E
Down in Louisiana
E
Where the alligators grow so mean
E
There lived a girl that I sear to the world
E B
Made the alligators look tame
[Chorus]
A E
Polk salad Annie. Polk salad Annie
G A
Everybody said it was a shame
G A
Cause her mama was working on the chain-gang
E
(A mean, vicious woman)
[Verse 4]
E
Everyday 'fore supper time
E
She'd go down by the truck patch
E
And pick her a mess o'Polk salad
E
And carry it home in a tote sack
[Chorus 2]
A E
Polk salad Annie, 'gators got you granny
G A
Everybody said it was a shame
G A
Cause her mama was working on the chain-gang
E
(A wretched, spiteful, straight-razor totin'
E
Woman, Lord have mercy. Pick a mess of it)
[Solo]
E
[Verse 5]
E
Her daddy was lazy and no count
E
Claimed he had a bad black
E
All her brothers were fit for was stealin'
E
Watermelons out of my truck patch
[Chorus 3]
A E
Polk salad Annie, 'gators got you granny
G A
Everybody said it was a shame
G A E
Cause her mama was working on the chain-gang
