If some of y all never been down sout too muchI'm gonna tell you a little about this so that you'll Understandwhat I'm talkin' about ...To understand what we talking aboutDown there we have a plant that grows like a turnip greenAnd everybody calls it poke salad ...
poke saladUsed to know a girl lived down there and she'd go outIn the evenings and pick her a mess of it,
carry itHome and cook it for supper,
cause that's about all theyHad to eat,
but they did all right.Down in Lou'siana,Where the alligators grow so mean,There lived a girl thatI swear to the world,Made the alligators look tamePoke Salad AnniePoke Salad AnnieEverybody said it was a shameCause her mama was a workin on the chain gangI mean,
viciousHer daddy was lazy and no countClaimed he had a bad backAnd all her brothers were fit forWas stealin watermelons out of my truck patchPoke Salad AnnieThe gators got your grannyEverybody said it was a shameCause her mama was a workin on the chain gangA wretched,
spiteful ( (?))Every day 'fore suppertimeShe'd go down by the truck patchAnd pick her a mess o' poke saladAnd carry it home in a tote sackPoke Salad AnnieThe gators got your grannyEverybody said it was a shameCause her Mama was a workin on the chain gangSock a little poke salad to meYou know I need me a mess of itSock a little pokeSock a little ah ah ahSock a little oh oh ohSock a little ah ah ah ah ah ahPoke Salad AnniePoke Salad AnnieThe gators got your grannyPoke Salad AnniePoke Salad AnnieThe gators got your granny
