《Polk Salad Annie (The Afternoon Show， 2012 Mix)》歌词

[00:03:09] (words & music by Tony Joe White)

[00:03:09] Some of you all never been down South too much...

[00:03:09] I' gonna tell you a little story, so you'll understand where I'm talking about

[00:03:09] Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods and the fields,

[00:03:09] and it looks something like a turnip green.

[00:03:09] Everybody calls it Polk salad. Now that's Polk salad.

[00:03:09] Used to know a girl that lived down there and

[00:03:09] she'd go out in the evenings to pick a mess of it...

[00:03:09] Carry it home and cook it for supper, 'cause that's about all they had to eat,

[00:03:09] But they did all right.

[00:03:09] Down in Louisiana

[00:03:09] Where the alligators grow so mean

[00:03:09] Lived a girl that I swear to the world

[00:03:09] Made the alligators look tame

[00:03:09] Polk salad Annie

[00:03:09] 'Gators got your granny

[00:03:09] Everybody said it was a shame

[00:03:09] For the mama was working on the chain-gang

[00:03:09] What a mean, vicious woman

[00:03:09] Everyday before suppertime

[00:03:09] She'd go down by the truck patch

[00:03:09] And pick her a mess of Polk salad

[00:03:09] And carry it home in a tote sack

[00:03:09] Polk salad Annie

[00:03:09] 'Gators got you granny

[00:03:09] Everybody said it was a shame

[00:03:09] 'Cause the mama was working on the chain-gang

[00:03:09] Whoo, how wretched, dispiteful, straight-razor totin' woman,

[00:03:09] Lord have mercy.

[00:03:09] Sock a little Polk salad to him

[00:03:09] Yeah, you know what, yeah, yeah

[00:03:09] But daddy was a lazy and a no-count

[00:03:09] Claimed he had a bad back

[00:03:09] All her brothers were fit for

[00:03:09] Was stealing watermelons out of my truck

[00:03:09] For once Polk salad Annie

[00:03:09] 'Gators got your granny

[00:03:09] Everybody said it was a shame

[00:03:09] For the mama was working on the chain-gang

[00:03:09] Sock a little Polk salad to him

[00:03:09] You know what meets a meal mention

[00:03:09] You sock a little

[00:03:09] Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah

[00:03:09] Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon

[00:03:09] Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon

[00:03:09] Sock a little Polk salad to him

[00:03:09] You know what meets a meal mention

[00:03:09] Sock a little Polk salad to him

[00:03:09] You know what meets a meal mention

[00:03:09] Chinc, chinc, chinc, chin, ling, ling ling
