Elvis Presley - Polk salad annie - elvis live version lyrics

Some of you all never been down South too much Some of you all never [Incomprehensible] 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 some 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 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 Down in Louisiana Where the alligators grew so mean Lived a girl, that I swear to the world Made the alligators look tame Polk salad, Annie 'Gators got your granny Everybody said it was a shame For the Mama was a working on the Chain Gang What a mean, vicious woman Everyday before supper time She'd go down by the truck patch And pick her a mess of Polk salad And carry it home in a tote sack Polk salad, Annie 'Gators got you granny Everybody said it was a shame For the Mama was a working on the Chain Gang How wretched, dis spiteful, straight razor, totin' woman Lord, have mercy Sock a little Polk salad to him You know what But daddy was a lazy and a no count Claimed he had a bad back All her brothers were fit for Stealing watermelons out of my truck For once Polk salad, Annie 'Gators got your granny Everybody said it was a shame For the Mama was a working on the Chain Gang Sock a little Polk salad to him You know what meets a meal mention Sock a little Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah Chic a bon, chic a bon Chic a bon bon bon bon Chic a bon, chic a bon Chic a bon bon bon bon Sock a little Polk salad to him You know what meets a meal mention Sock a little Polk salad You know what meets a meal Chinc, chinc, chinc, chin, ling, ling ling Chinc, chinc, chinc, chin, ling, ling ling Chinc, chinc, chinc, chin, ling, ling ling Chinc, chinc, chinc, chin, ling, ling ling
