Polk Salad Annie (波尔沙拉安妮) - Tony Joe White

Some of you all never been down south too much

I'm gonna tell you a little bit about this

So you'll understand where I'm talking about

Down there we have a plant

That grows out In the woods and the fields

And It looks something like a turnip green

Everybody calls It Polk salad Polk salad

Used to know a girl that lived down there and

She'd go out In the evenings to pick 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

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 mama was working on the chain gang

A mean vicious woman

Everyday 'fore supper time

She'd go down by the truck patch

And pick her a mess of Polk salad

And carry It home In a tote sack

Polk salad Annie the 'gators got you granny

Everybody said It was a shame

'Cause the mama was working on the chain gang

A wretched spiteful straight razor totin' woman

Lord have mercy pick a mess of It

Her daddy was a lazy and no count

Claimed he had a bad back

All her brothers were fit for

Was stealing watermelons out of my truck

That's Polk salad Annie the 'gators got your granny

Everybody said It was a shame

'Cause her mama was working on the chain gang

Sock a little Polk salad to him

You know I need a meal mention

Come on good girl

Gotta help me
