Polk Salad Annie [Film Mix]
What are you lookin' at back there?
Some of y'all never been down south too much
I'm gonna tell you a little story
So's you'll understand what I'm talkin' about
Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods, and the fields
And it looks somethin' like a turnip green
Everybody calls it polk salad
Now that's polk salad
Hut, hut, two, three, four
Hut, hut, two, three, four
Hut, hut, two, three, four
Hut, hut, two, three, four-four, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Anyway, I used to know a girl lived down there
She'd go out in the evenings and pick her a mess of it
Carry it home and cook it for supper
Because that's about all they had to eat
But they did all right
Down in Louisiana, where the alligators grow so mean
There 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
Because her momma was a workin' on the chain gang
A mean, vicious, straight razor-totin' woman
Lord, have mercy
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 tow sack
Polk salad Annie, the gators got your granny
Everybody says it was a shame
Because her momma was a workin' on the chain gang
Sock a little polk salad to me
Her daddy was lazy and no-count, claimed he had a bad back
All her brothers were fit for
Was stealin' watermelons out of my truck patch
Polk salad Annie, the gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
Because her momma was a workin' on the chain gang
Yeah, sock a little polk salad
You know I need
Sock a little (chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom)

Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom
Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom
Yo, you're right, you're right (chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom)
Sock a little polk salad (chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom)
You know I need real mess of it (chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom)
Sock a little (chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom)
You know I need real mess of it (chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom)
