Текст песни Polk Salad Annie (The BossHoss) с переводом

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

I’m gonna tell you a little bit about this, so that

You’ll understand what I’m talking about

Down there we have a plant that grows out

In the woods and the fields, looks something’like

A turnip green

Everybody calls it Polk salad. Polk salad

Used to know a girl that lived down there and

She’d go out in the evenings and pick a mess of it

Carry it home and cook it for supper, 'cause that’s

About all they hat to eat, but they did all right

Down in Louisiana

Where the alligators grow so mean

There lived a girl that I sear to the world

Made the alligators look tame

Ref:

Polk salad Annie. Polk salad Annie

Everybody said it was a shame

Cause her mama was working on the chain-gang

(a mean, vicious woman)

Everyday 'fore supper time

She’d go down by the truck patch

And pick her a mess o’Polk salad

And carry it home in a tote sack

Ref:

Polk salad Annie 'Gators got you granny

Everybody said it was a shame

'Cause her mama was working' on the chain-gang

(a wretched, spiteful, straight-razor totin'

Woman, Lord have mercy. Pick a mess of it)

Her daddy was lazy and no count

Claimed he had a bad black

All her brothers were fit for was stealin'

Watermelons out of my truck patch

Ref:

Polk salad Annie 'Gators got you granny

Everybody said it was a shame

'Cause her mama was working' on the chain-gang
