Polk Salad Annie (August 12 - Midnight Show)

What are you looking at back there?

Some of y'all never been down South too much

I'm gonna tell you a little story

So that 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 somethin' like a turnip green

Everybody calls it polk salad

Now that’s polk salad

Hut-2-3-4

Hut-hut-2-3-4

Hut-hut-2-3-4

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Bop-hut-2-3-4

Hut-2-3-4-4

Hut-hut-hut-2

Hut-hut-2-3-4

I learned that in the Army

Hut-2-3-4-4

Hut-2-3-4-4

Anyway, I used to know a girl lived down there

And she'd go out in the evenings and pick her 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

There lived a girl that I swear to the world

Made the alligators look tame

Gator got your granny

Everybody said it was a shame

'Cause her mama was working on a chain gang

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

A mean, vicious, straight-razor-totin’ woman

Lord have mercy, oh

Every day before supper time

She'd go down by the truck patch

And pick her a mess o'polk salad

And carry it home in a tote sack

Polk salad Annie

Gator got your granny

Everybody said it was a shame

‘Cause her mama was working on a chain gang, ho

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Sock a little polk salad

(Ho)

Her daddy was lazy and no count

Claimed he had a bad back

All her brothers were fit for

Stealin' watermelons out of my truck patch

Polk salad Annie

Gator got your granny

Everybody said it was a shame

'Cause her mama was a-working on a chain gang
