Polk Salad Annie - Live at Convention Center Arena, San Antonio, TX - April 18, 1972
"Take it on Gerry"
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 momma was a workin' on a chain gang
"Sorry Gerry"
Everyday before supper time
She'd go down by the truck patch
Pick her a mess of polk salad, lord
And carry it home in a tote sack
Polk salad Annie, gators got your granny
Everybody says it was a shame
'Cause her momma was a workin' on the chain gang
"Play it Gerry"
Her daddy was lazy and no-account
Claimed he had a bad back
All her brothers were fit for
Was stealin' watermelons from outa my truck patch
Polk salad Annie, gators got your granny, yeah
Everybody said it was a shame
'Cause her momma was a workin' on a chain gang
Salt a little polk salad
"Thankyou
Good evening ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to our show
I'd like to do some of my first records for you"
Carry be back
Down in Louisiana, where the alligators grow so mean
Lived a girl, that I swear to the world
Made the alligators look tame

'Cause her momma was a workin' on a chain gang
"Sorry Gerry"
Everyday before supper time
She'd go down by the truck patch
Pick her a mess of polk salad, lord
And carry it home in a tote sack
Polk salad Annie, gators got your granny
Everybody says it was a shame
'Cause her momma was a workin' on the chain gang
