Polk Salad Annie Tony Joe White
Down in Louisiana, where the alligators grow so mean.
There lived a girl, that I swear to the world,
made the alligators look tame.
CHORUS:
Polk salad [A]Annie, polk salad [E]Annie.
Every[G]body said it was a [A]shame..
cause her [G]Mama was working on the chain-[A]gang.
[E]A mean, vicious woman.
[E]Everyday 'fore supper time, she'd go down by the truck patch.
And pick her a mess o' Polk salad, and carry it home
in a tote-sack.
CHORUS:
Polk salad [A]Annie..'gators got your [E]Granny.
Every[G]body said it was a [A]shame..cause her [G]Mama was
workin on the [A]chain-gang..
a [E]wretched, spiteful, straight-razor totin' woman.
Lord have mercy.
(INTERLUDE:HARMONICA:)
[E]Her daddy was lazy and no 'count..claimed he had a bad back.
All her brothers were fit for, was stealin' watermelons out
of my truck patch.
CHORUS:
Polk salad [A]Annie..the 'gators got your [E]Granny.
Every[G]body said it was a [A]shame..cause her [G]Mama was
working on the [A]chain-gang.[E]
OUTRO:
[E]Sock a little polk-salad to me..you know I need a mean
mess of it..(Fade.)
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
