(Intro riff, Bass and Guitar1)
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.

A
Down in Louisiana
A
Where the alligators grow so mean
A
Lived a girl that I swear to the world
A
Made the alligators look tame

[NC]       D
Polk salad Annie
                 A
'Gators got your granny
     C                  D
Everybody said it was a shame
        C                       D           A
For the mama was working on the chain-gang
A
What a mean, vicious woman

A
Everyday before suppertime
A
She'd go down by the truck patch
A
And pick her a mess of Polk salad
A
And carry it home in a tote sack

[nc]       D
Polk salad Annie
                A
'Gators got you granny
     C                  D
Everybody said it was a shame
           C                       D             A
'Cause the mama was working on the chain-gang
A
Whoo, how wretched, dispiteful, straight-razor totin' woman,
A
Lord have mercy.

A
Sock a little Polk salad to him
A
Yeah, you know what, yeah, yeah

A
But daddy was a lazy and a no-count
A
Claimed he had a bad back
A
All her brothers were fit for
A
Was stealing watermelons out of my truck

[nc]                D
For once Polk salad Annie
                 A
'Gators got your granny
     C                  D
Everybody said it was a shame
        C                       D             A
For the mama was working on the chain-gang

A
Sock a little Polk salad to him
A
You know what meets a meal mention
A
You sock a little
A
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah

(Intro riff Bass and Guitar 1)

A
Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon
A
Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon

A
Sock a little Polk salad to him
A
You know what meets a meal mention
A
Sock a little Polk salad to him
A
You know what meets a meal mention
A
Chinc, chinc, chinc, chin, ling, ling ling
