《Pork Salad Annie》歌词

[00:05:09] Polk Salad Annie - Tony Joe White

[00:05:09] If some of ya'll never been

[00:05:09] Down south too much

[00:05:09] I'm gonna tell you a little bit about this

[00:05:09] So that you'll understand

[00:05:09] What I'm talking about

[00:05:09] Down there we have a plant

[00:05:09] That grows out in the woods

[00:05:09] And in the fields looks something

[00:05:09] Like a turnip green

[00:05:09] And everybody calls it polk salad

[00:05:09] Polk salad

[00:05:09] Used to know a girl lived down there

[00:05:09] And she'd go out in the evenings

[00:05:09] And pick her a mess of it

[00:05:09] Carry it home and cook it for supper

[00:05:09] 'Cause that's about all they had to eat

[00:05:09] But they did all right

[00:05:09] Down in Louisiana

[00:05:09] Where the alligators grow so mean

[00:05:09] There lived a girl that I swear to the world

[00:05:09] Made the alligators look tame

[00:05:09] Polk salad Annie polk salad Annie

[00:05:09] Everybody said it was a shame

[00:05:09] Cause her momma was

[00:05:09] A working on the chain gang

[00:05:09] (A mean vicious woman)

[00:05:09] Everyday 'fore supper time

[00:05:09] She'd go down by the truck patch

[00:05:09] And pick her a mess of polk salad

[00:05:09] And carry it home in a tow sack

[00:05:09] Polk salad Annie

[00:05:09] The gators got your granny

[00:05:09] Everybody says it was a shame

[00:05:09] Cause her momma was

[00:05:09] A working on the chain gang

[00:05:09] (A wretched spiteful

[00:05:09] Straight-razor toting woman

[00:05:09] Lord have Mercy pick a mess of it)

[00:05:09] Her daddy was lazy and no count

[00:05:09] Claimed he had a bad back

[00:05:09] All her brothers were fit

[00:05:09] For was stealing watermelons

[00:05:09] Out of my truck patch

[00:05:09] Polk salad Annie

[00:05:09] The gators got your granny

[00:05:09] Everybody said it was a shame

[00:05:09] Cause her momma was a working

[00:05:09] On the chain gang

[00:05:09] Sock a little polk salad to me

[00:05:09] You know I need me a mess of it

[00:05:09] Come on good girl

[00:05:09] Gotta help me

[00:05:09] All to all
