[E7]Down in Lou'siana, where the alligators grow so mean,
There lived a girl that I swear to the world,
E7 (stop)
Made the alligators look tame,
Poke Salad An[A7]nie, Poke Salad A[E7]nnie
Every[G]body said it was a sh[A]ame, cause her
M[G]ama was a workin on the ch[A]ain gang [E7]
(a mean, vicious woman)
Every day 'fore suppertime, she'd go down by the truck patch,
And pick her a mess o' poke salad and carry it home in a tote sack,
Poke Salad Annie, The gators got your granny,
Everybody said it was a shame, cause her
Mama was a workin on the chain gang
(a wretched, spiteful, straight razor totin' woman,
Lord have mercy, pick me a mess of it)
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,
Poke Salad Annie, The gators got your granny,
Everybody said it was a shame, cause her
Mama was a workin on the chain gang
(sock a little poke salad to me,
you know I need me a mess of it)
