Polk Salad Annie (Live)

In the style of

Elvis Presley

Lyrics

some of y'all never been
down south too much

some of y'all never been
down south too much

i'm gonna tell you a little story
so you'll understand

what 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

lord have mercy
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

'cos that's about all
they had to eat

but they did all right

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

for the mama was
working on the chain-gang

a mean
vicious woman, oh

everyday before suppertime
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

ooh ooh ooh
everybody said it was a shame

because the mama was
working on the chain-gang

how wretched, dispiteful
straight-razor totin' woman

lord have mercy, ooh

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
was stealing watermelons out

of my truck

for once polk salad annie
'gators got your granny

everybody said it was a shame

because mama was working
on the chain-gang

oh

sock a little polk salad to him
you know what means

a meal mention
sock a little

hey

sock a little polk salad to him
you know what means

a meal mention

sock a little polk salad

you know what means a meal

chin chin chin chin
chin chin chin chin

ling ling ling

chin chin chin chin
chin chin chin chin

chin chin chin chin
chin chin chin chin

chin chin chin chin
ling ling chin

hey
hey

come on

come on
