Polk Salad Annie Tab

by Tony Joe White


 I dont know how Tony did it but this is how my Daddy played it when we traveled 
on the road with the band.



                     
                     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 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 salad
                 
             And carry it home in a tote sack

              Everybody said it was a shame
                                               
'       Cause the mama was working on the chain-gang
      
    Whoo, how wretched, dispiteful, straight-razor totin' woman,



                                         
              Sock a little Polk salad to him
               
              Yeah, you know what, yeah, yeah


            
            Her daddy was a lazy and a no-count
                  
                 Claimed he had a bad back
                
               All her brothers were fit for
          
         Was stealing watermelons out of my truck
