(verse 1)  
E  
Down in Louisiana,  
E  
Where the alligators grow so mean,  
E  
There lived a young girl that I swear to the world,  
E  
Made the alligators look tame,

            A  
Polk salad Annie,  
                 E  
'Gators got your granny,  
     G                  A  
Everybody said it was a shame,  
        G                       A           E  
That the mama was working on the chain gang,  
E  
What a mean, vicious woman,  
  
  
(verse 2)  
E  
Everyday before suppertime,  
E  
She'd go down by the truck patch,  
E  
And pick her a mess of Polk salad,  
E  
And carry it home in a tote sack,
