elvis presley – polk salad annie (film mix) lyrics

[intro]
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
and everybody calls it polk salad
now that’s polk salad, ho
anyway, i used to know a girl who 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
’cause that’s about all they had to eat
but they did alright
[verse 1]
down in louisiana
where the alligators grow so mean
lived a girl that i swear to the world
made the alligators look tame

[chorus]
polk salad annie
gators got your granny
everybody said it was a shame
’cause her mama was a+workin’ on the chain gang

[post+chorus]
a mean, vicious
straight+razor+totin’ woman
lord, have mercy

[verse 2]
every day 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

[chorus]
polk salad annie
gators got your granny
everybody said it was a shame
’cause her mama was a+workin’ on the chain gang
[bridge]
sock a little polk salad (oh)

[verse 3]
her daddy was a lazy no+count
claimed he had a bad back
all her brothers were fit for
was stealin’ watermelons out of my truck patch

[chorus]
polk salad annie
gators got your granny
everybody said it was a shame
’cause her mama was a+workin’ on the chain gang

[interlude]
sock a little polk salad to me
you know i need a
sock a little

[outro]
yeah
you’re right, you’re right
sock a little polk salad to me
you know i need a real mess of it
sock a little
know i need a real mess of it
sock a little, sock a
[spoken outro]
thank you
thank you very much
