Intro 1
(D major)
Verse 1
What are you lookin' at back there? (D major)
Some of y'all never been down
south too much
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
Hut, hut, two, three, four
Hut, hut, two, three, four
Hut, hut, two, three, four
Hut, hut, two, three, four- four,
ah- ah, ah- ah, ah- ah, ah- ah
Anyway, I used to know a girl
lived down there
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
