Paroles

[Intro]
E7
Umm!
If some of ya'll never been down south too much
I'm gonna tell you a little bit about this
So that you'll understand what I'm talkin' about
Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods
And the fields looks somethin' like a turnip green
And ev'rybody calls it polk salad,
polk salad
Umm!
Used to know a girl lived down there
And she'd go out in the evenings and pick her a mess of it
Carry it home and cook it for supper
'Cause that's about all they had to eat,
they did all right

[Verse 1]
E7
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]
           A7                E7
Polk salad Annie, polk salad Annie
     G
Everybody said it was a shame
A           G                         A
 'Cause her momma was aworkin' on the chain gang

[Break]
E7
  A mean, vicious woman
Umm!

[Verse 2]
E7
Every day 'for 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

[Chorus]
           A7                         E7
Polk salad Annie, the gators got your granny, chomp, chomp,
chomp
     G
Everybody says it was a shame
A           G                               A
 'Cause her momma was a workin' on the chain gang

[Break]
E7
  A wretched, spiteful, straightrazor totin' woman,
hehheh
Lord, have mercy, pick a mess of it

[Harmonica Solo]
E7
  Umm!

[Verse 3]
    E7
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]
           A7                         E7
Polk salad Annie, the gators got your granny,
whoa oohhoo
     G
Everybody said it was a shame
A           G                         A
 'Cause her momma was aworkin' on the chain gang

[Outro]
E7
  Sock a little polk salad to me
You know I need me a mess of it
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Good God
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Umm, umm, umm, umm, umm, umm, umm!
Got to have me
           E7
Ate her up,  heh
