I' gonna tell you a little story, so you'll understand where I'm talking about Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods and the fields, and it looks something like a turnip green. Everybody calls it Polk salad. Now that's Polk salad. Used to know a girl that lived down there and she'd go out in the evenings to pick 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. E Down in Louisiana E Where the alligators grow so mean E Lived a girl that I swear to the world E Made the alligators look tame [NC] A Polk salad Annie E 'Gators got your granny G A Everybody said it was a shame G A E For the mama was working on the chain-gang E What a mean, vicious woman E Everyday before suppertime E She'd go down by the truck patch E And pick her a mess of Polk salad E And carry it home in a tote sack [nc] A Polk salad Annie E 'Gators got you granny G A Everybody said it was a shame G A E 'Cause the mama was working on the chain-gang E Whoo, how wretched, dispiteful, straight-razor totin' woman, E Lord have mercy. E Sock a little Polk salad to him E Yeah, you know what, yeah, yeah E But daddy was a lazy and a no-count E Claimed he had a bad back E All her brothers were fit for E Was stealing watermelons out of my truck [nc] A For once Polk salad Annie E 'Gators got your granny G A Everybody said it was a shame G A E For the mama was working on the chain-gang E Sock a little Polk salad to him E You know what meets a meal mention E You sock a little E Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah (Intro riff Bass and Guitar 1) E Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon E Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon E Sock a little Polk salad to him E You know what meets a meal mention E Sock a little Polk salad to him E You know what meets a meal mention E Chinc, chinc, chinc, chin, ling, ling ling
