Here they are: (but I didn't include the "chic a booms")
(Spoken) If some of ya'll never been down South too much... I'm gonna tell you a little bit about this, so that you'll understand what I'm talking about. Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods and the fields, looks somethin' 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 and 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. (Sing) 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 o' Polk salad And carry it home in a tote sack Polk salad Annie 'Gators got your granny Everybody said it was a shame 'Cause her mama was aworkin' on the chain-gang (a wretched, spiteful, straight-razor totin' woman, Lord have mercy. Pick a mess of it) Her daddy was lazy and no count Claimed he had a bad back All her brothers were fit for was stealin' watermelons out of my truck patch Polk salad Annie, the gators got your granny Everybody said it was a shame Cause her mama was a working' on the chain gang (Sock a little polk salad to me, you know I need me a mess of it)]]> Easy Songs Elecktrablue https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/polk-salad-annie/#post-245146 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/polk-salad-annie/#post-245126 Wed, 30 May 2007 22:12:10 +0000 Easy Songs threegtrz https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/polk-salad-annie/#post-245126 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/polk-salad-annie/#post-244351 Sat, 26 May 2007 23:08:49 +0000
