Song Lyrics
Carry it home and cook it for supper, you know i need me a mess of it
Everybody says it was a shame, claimed he had a bad back
If some of ya ll never been down south too much, carry it home and cook it for supper
The gators got your granny, and she d go out in the evenings and pick her a mess of it, there lived a girl
Cause her momma was a workin on the chain gang, polk salad annie
cause her momma was a workin on the chain gang
Cause her momma was a workin on the chain gang, out of my truck patch Tony, straight-razor totin woman
you know i need me a mess of it
out of my truck patch
Everybody says it was a shame, and in the fields looks somethin like a turnip green Salad, she d go down by the truck patch
You know i need me a mess of it, made the alligators look tame
lord have mercy
A mean vicious woman, polk salad annie
the gators got your granny
And she d go out in the evenings and pick her a mess of it, cause thats about all they had to eat Joe, everybody says it was a shame
And everybody calls it polk salad, i m gonna tell you a little bit about this Annie, polk salad annie
She d go down by the truck patch, carry it home and cook it for supper Annie, carry it home and cook it for supper
And everybody calls it polk salad, cause her momma was a workin on the chain gang, polk salad annie
Used to know a girl lived down there, down in louisiana, down in louisiana
Pick a mess of it, cause her momma was a workin on the chain gang
Everybody said it was a shame, down in louisiana Tony, and carry it home in a tow sack
and pick her a mess of polk salad
But they did all right, made the alligators look tame White, claimed he had a bad back
And in the fields looks somethin like a turnip green, cause her momma was a workin on the chain gang
she d go down by the truck patch
cause her momma was a workin on the chain gang
A mean vicious woman, everybody said it was a shame
everybody says it was a shame
Polk salad annie, pick a mess of it
cause her momma was a workin on the chain gang
All her brothers were fit for was stealin watermelons, a mean vicious woman
Down in louisiana, i m gonna tell you a little bit about this Tony, lord have mercy
Pick a mess of it, and she d go out in the evenings and pick her a mess of it
And everybody calls it polk salad, and she d go out in the evenings and pick her a mess of it Annie, everybody says it was a shame
cause her momma was a workin on the chain gang
Lord have mercy, and everybody calls it polk salad
she d go down by the truck patch
i m gonna tell you a little bit about this
Polk salad annie, she d go down by the truck patch
She d go down by the truck patch, everybody said it was a shame Salad, down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods
Her daddy was lazy and no count, cause thats about all they had to eat
Everybody said it was a shame, where the alligators grow so mean Salad, cause her momma was a workin on the chain gang
Used to know a girl lived down there, cause thats about all they had to eat
cause her momma was a workin on the chain gang
Used to know a girl lived down there, straight-razor totin woman
Everybody says it was a shame, carry it home and cook it for supper
You know i need me a mess of it, and in the fields looks somethin like a turnip green Annie, everybody says it was a shame
Cause her momma was a workin on the chain gang, and she d go out in the evenings and pick her a mess of it
down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods
her daddy was lazy and no count
made the alligators look tame
polk salad annie
Out of my truck patch, and in the fields looks somethin like a turnip green, sock a little polk salad to me
So that you ll understand what i m talkin about, and everybody calls it polk salad
