Polk Salad Annie (Film Mix) lyrics
What are you lookin' at back there? Some of y'all never been down south too much I'm gonna tell you a little story So's you'll understand what I'm talkin' about Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods, and the fields And it looks somethin' like a turnip green Everybody calls it polk salad Now that's polk salad Hut, hut, two, three, four Hut, hut, two, three, four Hut, hut, two, three, four Hut, hut, two, three, four-four, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah Anyway, I used to know a girl lived down there She'd go out in the evenings and pick her a mess of it Carry it home and cook it for supper Because that's about all they had to eat But they did all right Down in Louisiana, where the alligators grow so mean There 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 Because her momma was a workin' on the chain gang A mean, vicious, straight razor-totin' woman Lord, have mercy Everyday before suppertime, she'd go down by the truck patch And pick her a mess of polk salad, and carry it home in a tow 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 Sock a little polk salad to me Her daddy was lazy and no-count, claimed he had a bad back All her brothers were fit for Was stealin' watermelons out of my truck patch Polk salad Annie, the gators got your granny Everybody said it was a shame Because her momma was a workin' on the chain gang Yeah, sock a little polk salad You know I need Sock a little (chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom) Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom Yo, you're right, you're right (chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom) Sock a little polk salad (chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom) You know I need real mess of it (chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom) Sock a little (chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom) You know I need real mess of it (chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom) Sock a little (chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom) Sock a (chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom) Sock a (chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom) Huh (chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom) Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom Thank you, thank you very much
