Polk Salad Annie Lyrics - Prince From Another Planet (deluxe 2 Cd/1 Dvd Box Set) - Elvis Presley

Some of you all never been down South too much... 

I' gonna tell you a little story, 

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. Now that's 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, 

But they did all right. 

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 

'Gators got your granny 

Everybody said it was a shame 

For the mama was working on the chain-gang 

What a mean, vicious woman 

Everyday before 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 

Polk salad Annie 

'Gators got you granny 

Everybody said it was a shame 

'Cause the mama was working on the chain-gang 

Whoo, how wretched, dispiteful, 

straight-razor totin' woman, 

Lord have mercy.

Sock a little Polk salad to him 

Yeah, you know what, yeah, yeah 

But 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 patch 

For once Polk salad Annie 

'Gators got your granny 

Everybody said it was a shame 

For the 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 

Chic a bon, chic a bon, 

chic a bon bon bon bon 

Chic a bon, chic a bon, 

chic a bon bon bon bon 

Sock a little Polk salad to him 

You know what meets a meal mention 

Sock a little Polk salad to him 

You know what meets a meal mention 

Chinc, chinc, chinc, 

chin, ling, ling ling
