Some of you all never been down South too much

I wanna 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 some 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

And 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

Down in Louisiana

Where the alligators grew 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

For the Mama was a working on the Chain Gang

What a mean vicious woman

Everyday before supper time

She'd go down by the truck patch

And pick her a mess of Polk salad

And carry it home in a tote sack

Polk salad Annie

'Gators got you granny

Everybody said it was a shame

For the Mama was a working on the Chain Gang

How wretched dis spiteful

Straight razor totin' woman

Lord have mercy

Sock a little Polk salad to him

You know what

But daddy was a lazy and a no count

Claimed he had a bad back

All her brothers were fit for

Stealing watermelons out of my truck

For once Polk salad Annie

'Gators got your granny

Everybody said it was a shame

For the Mama was a working on the Chain Gang

Sock a little Polk salad to him

You know what meets a meal mention

Sock a little

Hey hey hey yeah yeah

Chic a bon chic a bon

Chic a bon bon bon bon

Chic a bon chic a bon

Chic a bon bon bon bon

Sock a little Polk salad to him

You know what meets a meal mention

Sock a little Polk salad

You know what meets a meal

Chinc chinc chinc chin chin

Chinc chinc chinc chin ling ling ling

Chinc chinc chinc chin ling ling ling

Chinc chinc chinc chin ling ling ling
