[00:25.04]Some of y'all never been down south too much
[00:27.46]I'm going to tell you a little story
[00:29.13]So you'll understand what I'm talking about
[00:32.51]Down there we have a plant
[00:33.57]That grows out in the woods and the fields
[00:37.14]And it looks something like a turnip green
[00:40.00]Everybody calls it polk salad
[00:45.52]Now that's polk salad
[01:05.43]Used to know a girl that lived down there and
[01:09.21]She'd go out in the evenings and pick a mess of it
[01:11.29]Carry it home and cook it for supper
[01:13.05]Because that's about all they had to eat
[01:16.27]But they did all right
[01:19.30]Down in louisiana
[01:22.11]Where the alligators grow so mean
[01:25.46]Lived a girl that I swear to the world
[01:28.45]Made the alligators look tame

[02:02.75]And pick her a mess of polk salad
