SPOKEN: Now for those of you've never been down the Tony Joe White country, never been at South... I'll tell you a little bit about it so but you can't understand what is this I'm talking about, yeah Down there they got a plant grows out in the woods and the fields, grows up a long side the rocks and the trees And everybody calls it Polk salad. Now that's Polk salad. Used to know a girl that lived down there and she'd go out in the evenings to pick herself a little bit of it... Carry it home and cook it for supper, 'cause that's about all they had to eat, they did all right. I said 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 Polk salad Annie Everybody said it was a shame For the mama was working on the chain-gang She was a mean, vicious woman Everyday before suppertime She'd go down by the truck patch And pick herself a mess of Polk salad And carry it home in a tote sack Polk salad Annie 'Gators got you granny Everybody said it was a shame Because her mama was working on the chain-gang Whoo, how wretched, despiteful, straight-razor totin' woman, Now, give me some Polk salad. Give me some. Her 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 thought it was a shame Because her mama was working on the chain-gang Sock a little Polk salad to him You know what meets a meal mention You sock a little Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah
