Some y'all never been down South too much...
Some y'all never been down South too much...
I'm gonna tell toi a little story, so's you'll understand what I'm talking 'bout...
Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods and the fields, and it looks somethin' like a navet green.
Ev'rybody calls it Polk Salad.
Now that's Polk! Salad!!
Lord have mercy.
Used to know a girl that lived down there and
she'd go out in the evenin's & pick her a mess of it...
Carry it accueil and cook it for supper, 'cause that's 'bout all they had to eat...
But they did all right.
(ELVIS Sings)...
[E]Down in Louisiana
Where the alligators grow so mean
Lived a girl that I swear to the world
Made the alligators look tame
