(verse 1)
E
Down in Louisiana,
E
Where the alligators grow so mean,
E
There lived a young girl that I swear to the world,
E
Made the alligators look tame,
A
Polk salad Annie,
E
'Gators got your granny,
G A
Everybody said it was a shame,
G A E
That the mama was working on the chain gang,
E
What a mean, vicious woman,
(verse 2)
E
Everyday before suppertime,
E
She'd go down by the truck patch,
E
And pick her a mess of Polk salad,
E
And carry it home in a tote sack,
A
Polk salad Annie,
E
'Gators got you granny,
G A
Everybody said it was a shame,
G A E
'Cause the mama was working on the chain gang,
E
Whoo, a wretched, spiteful, straight-razor totin woman,
E
Lord have mercy,
(bridge)
E
Sock a little Polk salad to me,
E
Yeah, you know i need me a mess of it yeah,
(verse 3)
E
Her daddy was lazy and no count,
E
Claimed he had a bad back,
E
All her brothers were fit for,
E
Was stealing watermelons out of my truck,
(chorus)
A
Polk salad Annie,
E
'Gators got your granny,
G A
Everybody said it was a shame,
G A E
For the mama was working on the chain-gang,
E
Sock a little Polk salad to me,
E
You know i need me a mess of it,
E
You sock a little,
E
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah,
E
Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon,
E
Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon,
E
Sock a little Polk salad to him,
E
You know what meets a meal mention,
E
Sock a little Polk salad to him,
E
You know i need me a mess of it,
E
