Now for those of you
Who never been down to Tony Joe White country
Never been ... (?)
I'm gonna tell you a little bit about this so that you'll
Understand what it is I'm talkin' about ... yeah
Down there they got a plant
That grows out in the woods,
And in the field
Grows up the long side on the rocks
In the trees
And everybody calls it polk salad
That's polk salad
And I used to know a girl lived down there
She'd go out in the evenings
And pick herself a little bit of it
And she carried it home
And cook it for supper
Cause that's about all they had to eat
But they did all right
I said down in Lou'siana
Where the alligators grow so mean
Lived a girl who swear to the world
Made the alligators look tame
Salad Annie, Polk Salad Annie
Everybody said it was a shame
Because her mama was a workin on the chain gang
She was a mean, vicious woman
Every day 'fore suppertime
She'd go down by the truck patch
And pick herself a mess o' pokl salad
And carry it home in a tote sack
Polk Salad Annie, gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
Because her mama was a workin on the chain gang
A wretched, spiteful, straight razor totin' woman!
Now give me some polk salad, give me some
Her daddy was lazy and no count
He claimed he had a bad back
And all the brothers were fit for
Was stealin watermelons out of my truck patch
Polk Salad Annie, gators got your granny
Everybody told it was a shame
Cause her mama was a workin on the chain gang
Sock a little polk salad
I need me a mess of it, sock a little...
Joe Dassin (Joseph Ira Dassin, 1938-1980) was an American-born French singer and songwriter. Considered one of the greatest French music artists of the 1960s and 1970s, Dassin captivated audiences with his warm voice and romantic, catchy songs. A polyglot, he could express himself and sing in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Greek. Born in New York to French parents, he moved to France at the age of 18 to pursue music. His breakthrough came with the song "Les Champs-Élysées" (1970), which became a national anthem of France. Among his most famous songs are also "Salut les copains", "Et si tu n'existais pas", and "Laissez-moi danser". Dassin collaborated with numerous French artists, including Claude François and Gilbert Bécaud. His music is still widely appreciated in France and around the world.
