[Verse 1]

E
Down in Louisiana,
E
Where the alligators grow so mean.
E
There lived a girl, that I swear to the world,
E
Made the alligators look tame.


[Chorus]

           A                 E
Polk Salad Annie, Polk Salad Annie.
     G                  A
Everybody said it was a shame,
           G                             A
'Cause her Mama was working on the chain-gang.


[Bridge]

E
A mean, vicious woman.


[Verse 2]

E
Every day 'fore supper time,
E
She'd go down by the truck patch.
E
And pick her a mess o' polk salad,
E
And carry it home in a tote-sack.


[Chorus]

           A                       E
Polk Salad Annie..'gators got your Granny.
     G                  A
Everybody said it was a shame,
           G                             A
'Cause her Mama was working on the chain-gang.


[Bridge]

  E
A wretched, spiteful, straight-razor totin' woman.
E
Lord have mercy.


[Interlude]
(Harmonica)


[Verse 3]

E
Her daddy was lazy and no 'count
E
Claimed he had a bad back.
E
All her brothers were fit for,
E
Was stealin' watermelons out of my truck patch.


[Chorus]

           A                           E
Polk Salad Annie..the 'gators got your Granny.
     G                  A
Everybody said it was a shame,
           G                             A
'Cause her Mama was working on the chain-gang.


[Outro]

E
Sock a little polk salad to me..
E
You know I need a mean mess of it...
