Polk Salad Annie Songtext
von Elvis Presley

Thank you
Some you all never been down South too much
Some y′all never been South too
I'm gonna tell you a little story, so you′ll understand what 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

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


Polk salad Annie
′Gators got your granny (shook, shook)
Everybody said it was a shame
For the mama was working on the chain-gang
A mean, vicious woman
Ah!

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

Polk salad Annie
′Gators got you granny (Ooo)
Everybody said it was a shame
Because the mama was working on the chain-gang
A wretched, spiteful, straight razor toting woman
Lord have mercy

Sock a little Polk salad to me
You know what

Her daddy was a lazy and no-account
Claimed he had a bad back
All her brothers were fit for
Stealing watermelons out of my truck patch


Polk salad Annie
'Gators got your granny (shook, shook)
Everybody said it was a shame
Because the mama was working on the chain-gang
Oh

He sock a little Polk salad to me
You know what need a meal mention
You sock a little (hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah)

Sock a little Polk salad to me
You know what need a meal mention
Sock a little Polk salad you know what need a meal

Chang chang a chang chang
Chang chang a chang chang laga la la
Chang chang a chang chang laga
Chang chang a chang chang
Chang chang a chang chang
Chang chang a chang chang
Chang chang a chang chang lady
Chang chang

Thank you
