Some y'all never been down South too much...
Some y'all never been down South too much...
I'm gonna tell you a little story, so's you'll understand what I'm talking 'bout...
Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods and the fields, and it looks somethin' like a turnip green.
Ev'rybody calls it Polk Salad.
Now that's Polk! Salad!!
Lord have mercy.
Used to know a girl that lived down there and
she'd go out in the evenin's & pick her a mess of it...
Carry it home and cook it for supper, 'cause that's 'bout all they had to eat...
But they did all right.
(ELVIS Sings)...
[E]Down in Louisiana
Where the alligators grow so mean
Lived a girl that I swear to the world
Made the alligators look tame

'Gators got ya[E] granny, chump-chump
Ev'ry[G]body said it was[A] a shame
Cus her [G]mama was-a[A] workin'[E]on-a chain-gang
a mean, vicious, woman! Ho!
[E]Ev'ryday before suppertime
She'd go down by the truck patch
And pick her a mess of Polk Salad
And carry it home in a tote sack
