(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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Intro riff Bass and Guitar 1)

G#
Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon
G#
Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon

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