Polk Salad Annie

	  		(verse 1)

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


            A

                 E  
'Gators got your granny,  
     G                  A  
Everybody said it was a shame,  
        G                       A           E  
That the mama was working on the chain gang,  
E  
What a mean, vicious woman,
  
  
  
(verse 2)  
E  
Everyday before suppertime,  
E  
She'd go down by the truck patch,  
E  
And pick her a mess of Polk salad,  
E  
And carry it home in a tote sack,  
  
  
           A

Everybody said it was a shame,  
           G                       A          E  
'Cause the mama was working on the chain gang,  
E  
Whoo, a wretched, spiteful, straight-razor totin woman,  
E  
Lord have mercy,

Was stealing watermelons out of my truck,
