Polk Salad Annie (Live at the Isle of Wight)

[E]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 [A]Annie, polk salad [E]Annie.
Every[G]body said it was a [A]shame..
cause her [G]Mama was working on the chain-[A]gang.
[E]A mean, vicious woman.

[E]Everyday 'fore supper time, she'd go down by the truck patch.

And pick her a mess o' Polk salad, and carry it home

in a tote-sack.

Polk salad [A]Annie..'gators got your [E]Granny.
Every[G]body said it was a [A]shame..cause her [G]Mama was
workin on the [A]chain-gang..
a [E]wretched, spiteful, straight-razor totin' woman.

Lord have mercy.

(INTERLUDE:HARMONICA:)

[E]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 [A]Annie..the 'gators got your [E]Granny.
Every[G]body said it was a [A]shame..cause her [G]Mama was
working on the [A]chain-gang. [E]

[E]Sock a little polk-salad to me..you know I need a mean

mess of it..(Fade.)
