Polk Sad Annie - Top Hits Group

Some of you all never been down South too much

Some of you all never been down South too much

I'm gonna tell you a little story

So you'll understand where I'm talking about

Down there we have a plant

That grows out in the woods and the fields

And it looks something like a turnip green

Everybody calls it Polk sad

That's Polk sad

Used to know a girl that lived down there and

She'd go out in the pick a mess of it

Carry it home and cook it for supper

'Cause that's about all they had to eat

But they did all right

Down in Louisiana

Where the alligators grow so mean

Lived a girl that I swear to the world

Made the alligators look tame

Polk sad Annie

'Gators got your granny

Everybody said it was a shame

For the mama was working on the chain-gang

What a mean vicious woman

Everyday before suppertime

She'd go down by the truck patch

And pick her a mess of Polk sad

And carry it home in a tote sack

Polk sad Annie

'Gators got you granny

Everybody said it was a shame

'Cause the mama was working on the chain-gang

Whoo wretched dispiteful

Straight-razor totin' woman

Lord have mercy

Sock a little Polk sad to me

Her daddy was a lazy and a no-count

Claimed he had a bad back

All her brothers were fit for

Stealing watermelons out of my truck patch

For once Polk sad Annie

'Gators got your granny

Everybody said it was a shame

For the mama was working on the chain-gang

Sock a little Polk sad to me

You know I need a meal miss

Sock a little Polk sad to me

You know I need a meal miss
