Polk Salad Annie (Live at Hampton Roads Coliseum, Hampton Roads, VA - April 9, 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

"Come here Rich"

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

Everyday before supper time
She'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
Everybody says it was a shame
Because her momma was a workin' on the chain gang

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

Polk salad Annie, the gators got your granny
Yeah baby
Everybody said it was a shame
'Cause her momma was a workin' on the chain gang
Go tell her little mamma

(Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom)
(Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom)
(Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom)

"Thankyou"
