Polk Salad Annie Lyrics - 1969 - Los Lonely Boys

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 

Oh, everybody said it was a shame 

'Cause her mama was working on chain gang 

Yes, she was 

A mean vicious woman 

Every day before supper time 

She head down over to the truck patch 

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 her mama was a workin' on the chain gang 

Yes, she was 

Her daddy was lazy and no count 

Claimed he had a bad back 

All of her brothers were fit for stealin' 

Watermelons out of my truck patch 

Polk salad Annie, oh, that 'gators got you granny 

Oh, everybody said it was a shame 

'Cause her mama was a workin' on the chain gang 

Yes, she was 

Everybody said it was a shame 

'Cause her mama was a workin' on the chain gang 

Yes, she was 

Mean ol' mama
