Polk Salad Annie - Live at Hampton Roads Coliseum, Hampton Roads, VA - April 9, 1972
"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"
