Polk Salad Annie (Live at Convention Center Arena, San Antonio, TX - April 18, 1972) Lyrics

"Take it on Gerry"

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
Everybody said it was a shame
'Cause her momma was a workin' on a chain gang
"Sorry Gerry"

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

Polk salad Annie, gators got your granny
Everybody says it was a shame
'Cause her momma was a workin' on the chain gang
"Play it Gerry"

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

Polk salad Annie, gators got your granny, yeah
Everybody said it was a shame
'Cause her momma was a workin' on a chain gang
Salt a little polk salad

"Thankyou
Good evening ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to our show
I'd like to do some of my first records for you"
Carry be back
