[Intro]
E A/E E7 A/E E Esus4add9 E
[Verse 1]
ESome of you all never been down South too much
EI'm going to tell you a little story, so you'll understand where I'm talking about
EDown there we have a plant that grows out in the woods and the fields
EAnd it looks something like a turnip green
EEverybody calls it Polk salad. Now that's Polk salad
EUsed to know a girl that lived down there and
EShe'd go out in the evenings to pick a mess of it
E E7 A/E E Esus4add9
Carry it home and cook it for supper, because that's about all they had to eat
But they did all Eright
[Pre-Chorus]
E7Down in Louisiana
E7Where the alligators grow so mean
E7Lived a girl that I swear to the world
[Chorus]
N.C.
Made the alligators look tame E7Polk salad A7Annie
Alligators got your E7granny
EveryGbody said it was a Ashame
For the Gmama was working on the Achain-gang E
What a mean, vicious woman
[Verse 2]
E7Everyday before suppertime
EShe'd go down by the truck patch
EAnd pick her a mess of Polk salad
EAnd carry it home in a tote sack
[Chorus]
Polk salad A7Annie
Alligators got you E7granny
EveryGbody said it was a Ashame
Because the Gmama was working on the Achain-gang E
EWhoo, how wretched, despiteful, straight-razor toting woman
ELord have mercy
E7Sock a little Polk salad to him
EYeah, you know what, yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
E7But daddy was a lazy and a no-count
EClaimed he had a bad back
EAll her brothers were fit for
EWas stealing watermelons out of my truck
[Chorus]
Polk salad A7Annie
Alligators got you E7granny
EveryGbody said it was a Ashame
Because the Gmama was working on the Achain-gang E
EWhoo, how wretched, despiteful, straight-razor toting woman
ELord have mercy
E7Sock a little Polk salad to him
EYeah, you know what, yeah, yeah
[Verse 4]
ESock a little Polk salad to him
EYou know what meets a meal mention
EYou sock a little
EHey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah
EChic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon
EChic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon
ESock a little Polk salad to him
EYou know what meets a meal mention
ESock a little Polk salad to him
EYou know what meets a meal mention
EChinc, chinc, chinc, chin, ling, ling ling
