Lyrics
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 Down in Louisiana Where the alligators grow so mean Lived a girl that I swear to the world Made the alligators look tame Polk Salad Annie Gators got your granny Everybody said it was a shame 'Cause her mama was a-workin' on the chain gang A mean, vicious Straight-razor-totin' woman Lord, have mercy 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 Polk Salad Annie Gators got your granny Everybody said it was a shame 'Cause her mama was a-workin' on the chain gang Sock a little polk salad (Oh) 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 Polk Salad Annie Gators got your granny Everybody said it was a shame 'Cause her mama was a-workin' on the chain gang Sock a little polk salad to me You know I need a Sock a little 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 Thank you Thank you very much
