Текст песни Polk Salad Annie (Elvis Presley) с переводом

If some of ya’ll never been down south too much

Some y’all never been down s-

I’m gonna tell you a little story so’s you’ll understand what I’m talkin' about

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

And it looks somethin' like a turnip green

Everybody calls it polk salad

Now that’s polk 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

Because that’s about all they had to eat

But they did all right

Down in Louisiana, where the alligators grow so mean

Lived a girl, that I swear to the world

Made the alligators look tame

Polk salad Annie, gators got your granny

Everybody said it was a shame

Because her momma was a workin' on the chain gang

A mean vicious woman

Everyday before supper time, she’d go down by the truck patch

And pick her a mess of polk salad, and carry it home in a tow sack

Polk salad Annie, the gators got your granny

Everybody says it was a shame

Because her momma was a workin' on the chain gang

A wretched, spiteful, straight-razor totin' woman

Lord have Mercy, pick a mess of it

Sock a little polk salad to me

Her daddy was lazy and no-count, claimed he had a bad back

All her brothers were fit for

Was stealin' watermelons out of my truck patch

Polk salad Annie, the gators got your granny

Everybody said it was a shame

Because her momma was a workin' on the chain gang

Yeah, sock a little polk salad to me, you know I need me a mess of it

Sock a little

(Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom)

(Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom-boom-boom)

Sock a little polk salad to me, you know I need a real mess of it (chick-a-boom)

Sock a little polk salad, you know I need a real (chick-a-boom)

Ching-ching-ching-ching-a-ling (chick-a-boom)

Ching-ching-ching-ching-a-ling (chick-a-boom)

Ching-ching-ching-ching-a-ling (chick-a-boom)

Ching-ching-ching-ching-a-ling (chick-a-boom)

Ching-ching-ching-ching-a-ling (chick-a-boom)

Ching-ching-ching-ching-a-ling (chick-a-boom)

Ching-ching-ching-ching-a-ling (chick-a-boom)

Ching-ching-ching-ching-a-ling (chick-a-boom)…
