Elvis Presley – Polk Salad Annie (Guitar)

E
Some of you all never been down South too much

E
I'm going to tell you a little story, so you'll understand where I'm talking about

E
Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods and the fields

E
And it looks something like a turnip green

E
Everybody calls it Polk salad. Now that's Polk salad

E
Used to know a girl that lived down there and

E
She'd go out in the evenings to pick a mess of it

E                             E7     A/E              E   Esus4add9
Carry it home and cook it for supper, because that's about all they had to eat

                 E
But they did all right

E7
Down in Louisiana

E7
Where the alligators grow so mean

E7
Lived a girl that I swear to the world

N.C                             E7
Made the alligators look tame

           A7
Polk salad Annie

                    E7
Alligators got your granny

     G                  A
Everybody said it was a shame

        G                       A           E
For the mama was working on the chain-gang

E7
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

           A7
Polk salad Annie

                   E7
Alligators got you granny

     G                  A
Everybody said it was a shame

            G                       A           E
Because the mama was working on the chain-gang

E
Whoo, how wretched, despiteful, straight-razor toting woman

E
Lord have mercy

E7
Sock a little Polk salad to him

E
Yeah, you know what, yeah, yeah

E7
But daddy was a lazy and a no-count

E
Claimed he had a bad back

E
All her brothers were fit for

E
Was stealing watermelons out of my truck

           A7

            G                       A           E
Because the mama was working on the chain-gang

E
Whoo, how wretched, despiteful, straight-razor toting woman

E
Lord have mercy

E7
Sock a little Polk salad to him

E
Yeah, you know what, yeah, yeah

E
Sock a little Polk salad to him

E
You know what meets a meal mention

E
You sock a little

E
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah

E
Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon

Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon
