Karaoké Polk Salad Annie (film mix) Elvis (film)

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

One, two, three, four

Carry it home and cook it for supper

Lived a girl that

I swear to the world made the alligators look tame

And pick her a mess of polk salad and carry it home in a tow sack

Polk salad Annie

Everybody says it was a shame cos' her momma was a workin' on the chain gang

Sock a little polk salad

All her brothers were fit for

Was stealin' watermelons out of my truck patch

Polk salad Annie

Everybody said it was a shame because her momma was a workin' on the chain gang

Woow

Sock a little

Oh

Right you're right

Yeah

Sock a little polk salad

Know I need a real mess

Sock a little

Know I need a real mess

Sock a little
