Tony Joe White Polk Salad Annie Lyrics

I dont know how Tony did it but this is how my Daddy played it when we traveled
on the road with the band.
Down in Louisiana
Where the alligators grow so mean
Lived a girl that I swear to the world
Made the alligators look tame
NC A A7
Polk salad Annie
Gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
For the mama was working on the chain-gang
What a mean, vicious woman
Everyday before suppertime
She'd go down by the truck patch
And pick her a mess of Polk salad
And carry it home in a tote sack
nc A
Polk salad Annie
Gators got you granny
Everybody said it was a shame
' Cause the mama was working on the chain-gang
Whoo, how wretched, dispiteful, straight-razor totin' woman,
Sock a little Polk salad to him
Yeah, you know what, yeah, yeah
Her daddy was a lazy and a no-count
Claimed he had a bad back
All her brothers were fit for
Was stealing watermelons out of my truck
