If some of y all never been down sout too much I'm gonna tell you a little about this so that you'll Understand what I'm talkin' about ...
To understand what we talking about Down there we have a plant that grows like a turnip green And everybody calls it poke salad ... poke salad Used to know a girl lived down there and she'd go out In the evenings and pick her 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 Lou'siana, Where the alligators grow so mean, There lived a girl that I swear to the world, Made the alligators look tame
Poke Salad Annie Poke Salad Annie Everybody said it was a shame Cause her mama was a workin on the chain gang I mean, vicious
Her daddy was lazy and no count Claimed he had a bad back And all her brothers were fit for Was stealin watermelons out of my truck patch
Poke Salad Annie The gators got your granny Everybody said it was a shame Cause her mama was a workin on the chain gang A wretched, spiteful ( (?))
Every day 'fore suppertime She'd go down by the truck patch And pick her a mess o' poke salad And carry it home in a tote sack
Poke Salad Annie The gators got your granny Everybody said it was a shame Cause her Mama was a workin on the chain gang
Sock a little poke salad to me You know I need me a mess of it
Sock a little poke Sock a little ah ah ah Sock a little oh oh oh Sock a little ah ah ah ah ah ah
