Polk Salad Annie

Down in Louisiana, where the alligators grow so mean
Lives 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 momma was a workin' on a chain gang
A mean vicious, straight-bladed little woman

Now 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, the gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
Because her momma was a workin' on the chain gang

Her daddy was lazy and no-account
Claimed he had a bad back
All her brothers were fit for
Was stealin' watermelons outta my truck patch

Polk salad Annie, the gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
'Cause her momma was a workin' on a chain gang

Salt a little Polk salad
No wonder you hear me
Salt a little, salt a little polk
Salt a little, salt a little polk
"How long you been out Ronnie"
Salt a little, salt a little
Salt a little, salt a little, polk
Round, round, round, round, round, round
