Polk Salad Annie - Jettricks/Sam Hare
Written by: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
Polk salad Annie polk salad Annie
Everybody said it was a shame
Cause her momma was a workin' on the chain gang
Everyday for supper time she'd go down by the truck patch
And pick her a mess of polk salad
And carry it home in a tow sack
Polk salad Annie the gators got your granny
Everybody says it was a shame
Cause her momma was a workin' on the chain gang
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
Polk salad Annie the gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
Cause her momma was a workin' on the chain gang
