Polk Salad Annie (Live at Richmond Coliseum, Richmond, VA - April 10, 1972) Lyrics

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

"Hey Rich"

Everybody said it was a shame
'Cause her momma was a workin' on the chain gang
A mean vicious, straight-bladed little woman, ah

Everyday before supper time
They'd go down by the truck patch
And pick her a mess of polk salad, lord
And carry it home in a tote sack

Polk salad Annie, the gators got your granny
'Body says it was a shame
Because her momma was a workin' on the chain gang

"Play the bass, man"

Her daddy was lazy and no-account
Claimed he had a bad back
All her brothers were fit for
Was stealin' watermelons outta my truck patch

Polk salad Annie
"Hit it baby"
The gators got your granny, ho
Everybody said it was a shame
'Cause her momma was a workin' on a chain gang
Start a little polk salad Annie, you know I did

"Well"
