Elvis Presley - Polk Salad Annie Lyrics
Some of you all never been down South too much...
I' gonna tell you a little story, so you'll understand where I'm talking about
Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods and the fields,
and it looks something like a turnip green.
Everybody calls it Polk salad. Now that's Polk salad.
she'd go out in the evenings to pick a mess of it...
Carry it home and cook it for supper, 'cause 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
Everybody said it was a shame
For the mama was working on the chain-gang
What a mean, vicious woman
Everyday before suppertime
She'd go down by the truck patch
And pick her a mess of Polk salad
And carry it home in a tote sack
Polk salad Annie
'Gators got you granny
Everybody said it was a shame
'Cause the mama was working on the chain-gang
Whoo, how wretched, dispiteful, straight-razor totin' woman,
Lord have mercy.
Sock a little Polk salad to him
Yeah, you know what, yeah, yeah
But daddy was a lazy and a no-count
Claimed he had a bad back
All her brothers were fit for
Was stealing watermelons out of my truck
For once Polk salad Annie
'Gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
For the mama was working on the chain-gang
Sock a little Polk salad to him
You know what meets a meal mention
You sock a little
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah
Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon
Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon
Sock a little Polk salad to him
You know what meets a meal mention
Sock a little Polk salad to him
You know what meets a meal mention
Chinc, chinc, chinc, chin, ling, ling ling

He's ELVIS and you're not. 👍
Conan O'Brien brought me here.
Un fenomeno
Elvis, The epitome of coolness at 2.53
He's a hack, a louse, an embarrassment.
Элвис форевер!!!!!
Everybody is a beast of a musician here.
Why is nobody talking about 1:52 lol
Anybody knows if 0:58 man was Juan Domingo Perón?
Elvis Presley is Dope as F!@k.
Those moves man!
Fuck Elvis this is shit compared to Tony Joe White.
Ele é muito louco, sou fã pra caramba desse cara.
Viajando no tempo em plena madrugada.
Monstro sagrado!
Ford V ferrari!
Just watched Ford vs. Ferrari and had to come here to see the King perform this.🥰
Hello, I saw Elvis at the Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas back in the 1970's I forgot which year.
John Steelman amazing
@Vanilla Girl , Hello Vanilla Girl , you like Elvis ? Where are you from ?
Tony Joe White. Polk Salad Annie
Black and White · 1969
Le king ❤💕💋
I was six when we watched it me and family aunts uncles cousins it was a big deal. The peacock channel Mutual of Omaha etc bits of memories
What a voice....what a man....great band too....forever Elvis....
How is there even 1 dislike ? Must be the youths of today and the total garbage they listen to , when they get older they will understand ;-)
ford vs Ferraris
Элвис не умер! Он просто улетел на другую планету (
Beautiful my king!!!👏👏👏👑👑
naatimon annie...
At rare live Elvis singing he touch me in church years ago on YouTube https://youtu.be/--g3MeD3Tic
элвис пресли восторгает.
The King! at his best!!!!
My o my
ROCK AND ROLL!
Elvis is and will always be a force to be reckoned with. Before him there was nothing. Let’s be honest voice, charisma, style, charm, music he has it all. My hero
legal. quanto tempo eu não via sua imagem
Ford vs ferrari 🤟😎
Love you, Vera
Just imagine if Elvis preached Jesus ,, the people that would have heard the gospel he professed to believe !!
check Bob Joyce its him, he is now a pastor
Stupid Fucking Comment
Impresionante. Ahora me doy cuenta porque los beatles lo idolatraban
My mother a love...
The best in the worlds.
na verdade se eu ou qualquer colega do youtube tecermos comentários em referencia há esse artista vamos ter que pensar muito ao que dizer, é só coisa boa para nossos bons ouvidos,aos que não curtem, esta perdendo tempo em visitar esse canal, e perdendo tempo na tela do computador, melhor procurar outro canal e não sobrecarregar esse felicidades.
Ford V Ferrari 2019 brought me here.. one more more time
No one cared what he was singing,they just wanted to watch him and hear his voice.Who wouldn't !
You forgot about his dancing and gyrating
We dance to the music, the music dances to Elvis.
To think he did this performance while shit-faced drunk, on Dilaudid, Demerol and Codeine, as well as Amphetamine pills. At points in this entire show (not just this part of it) he closes his eyes and looks like he can’t even comprehend reality, let alone the stage and all the people in front of him. Yet, he never once fails to keep the performance up and his voice never falters.
He didn't get heavy with pharma until a few yrs later. Also didn't drink. Still a handsome and talented MF. Been a fan since I was 3 in early 60s.
I know Elvis had drug problems but you are literally making shit up.
el mas grande e todos influyo en muchos aristas
RALLY..nice..songs...
You got the poke salad annie
Men have the G.E.
Più bravo di lui no c'è né sono e mai c'è nesaranno il mio amore inassoluto
I don't know what it is, I can't explain it, but there are people who are born to do what they are born to do. Whatever "IT" is, they have it. The stage presence, the look, the sound, the talent, the mannerisms, it's all there. Elvis, Michael Jackson, Prince, Tom Jones, Temptations, Bruce Springsteen, Al Green, Janis Joplin, Mick Jagger, Garth, I could keep going, but they just have whatever that "thing" is and they're born with it, period. And that blond in the blue dress at 2:46 could you have POSSIBLY learned to clap on 2 & 4 not 1 & 3. Geeze!!!!!!!
Prince, Tom Jones....? Really
@Kriss Kross YES, Prince and Tom Jones. I have over 40 years in the industry. What are you, 20? Yes Prince and Tom Jones? I shouldn't even dignify your dumb ass comment/question with a reasonable response. Have a nice day and get educated ok.
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Prince an Michael ........ Which one of you will hold my cape for a min...... ❤️
I love all those mother ducker that are real shit connection ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ohhh yeah.
I love Elvis and he can improve any song but on this one Tony Joe White can’t be beat.
Yours is a point of interest. Ask anyone, `who sang Polk Salad Annie ?` The vast majority won`t know. Those that do will, more than likely, cite Elvis Presley. Notwithstanding TJW`s earlier version was a class act....
...In fact I could hardly believe the colour of TJW when I saw his show since he sounds much more like a negro than E did when E showed.
the best,undisputed King!!
🍪🍼poop in my ass
Lovely phisique love ya man xxxx
Elvis is Bob ! We love Elvis ! Manila Philippines !
Went to the cinema yesterday for the movie That's The Way It Is ( it was played here in The Netherlands to remember him on his Birthday) and when this was on the screen I was sooooo feelling it, I forgot I was in a cinema instead of Vegas!
Happy Birthday to " The King of Rock n Roll" Elvis Presley.. would of been 85yrs old
Elvis Presley Forever On My Mind January 8-2020💖🎸💖🎶🎧🎸
Happy birthday gorgeous man. You will never be forgotten. ❤🌹💋
KEN MILES SIGHTING TODAY!!!!
Frank Sinatra pre-dated and post-dated Elvis but even The Chairman Of The Board can't hold a candle to The King.
1:43 that move...
Got to be the best Elvis performance.
His best song.
Ford vs Ferrarri
Elvis wins everytime
Fantástico . Por isso era o lendário e continua sendo o rei supremo da música.

2020
Onu getir biz görelim o popişi deliğinden yalarım
Watched this after listening to it as a soundtrack from "Ford Vs. Ferrari". Loved it. Will be listening to more Elvis songs now. :-)
Not his own song, was Tony Joe White.
Elvis was/is the Greatest Entertainer the World has Ever Known.
Unfortunately he wasn't. There were many others before he's time.
Hey beautiful man it's 2020 and still loving you. 💋💋💋
Same here ,,LA Sherman Oaks 2020 🇺🇸
Yes ❤️
Now that's the king goddamnit
came here after watching "Ford Vs Ferrari" - anyone else?
Yep. Haven't heard this song in forever.
le meilleur Chanteur
Never been one like him before; never see the likes of him again. A complete one off. The greatest. Period (as the Americans say!).
Ford vs Ferrarai brought me here.
Super ...I pakapshem deri më sot...
Незабвенный, пусть тебе земля будет пухом!
Still King
Poland!!:))
Cool!!!
One of the greatest songs I have ever heard!!!!
Ever heard the original?👌
https://youtu.be/MCSsVvlj6YA
rei e rei viva o rock,,, feliz 2020 sp
All the 50s 60s 70s 90s Best
Now thats what i call real music talent
Anyone watching on Christmas Day 2019? Polk salad and suspicious minds are my top favorites as his moves just do something for me 😻 and of course that amazing voice of his🥰
Watch Tony Joe White do this song, his song, live with just a bassist and drummer.
So cool!
Nathan Cirillo Hi Nathan 😊 I never heard of him but I’d love to see it! I’m going to go search for him now. Thank you so much! 😊🌺
Nathan Cirillo I watched it and oh my goodness 😻That was Awesome! I had no clue! Thank you so much for letting me know about him 😊
Kittymay98 : You’re welcome!
I had never heard of him or the song and stumbled on it by pure accident.
I’m a guitarist (and other instruments) and I learned the song (E7, A7, G, A) because I found it so infectious.
Polk salad is made with “Poke Sallet”, a poisonous plant that must be prepared with great care.
I love the TJW version when he goes “gator got your granny, chomp-chomp”.
@Nathan Cirillo ELE. Era. Um. Espetaculo. Sedução
I named my 10 year old cat after this song...no, not Polk...or Salad :)
Well then, it must be "Annie!"
RIP Elvis. Loved you then and love you as much today. You rock! You rule! You're as big today as you was yesterday. Burning Love!!! Kentucky Rain! Suspicious Mind! Poke Salad Anne!
It's hard to believe that the King has been dead as long as he was alive.
DogsPlayingPoker legends never die
секси навсегда
Nobody could ever touch his voice, i dare anyone to try and tell me different, the greatest live voice ever R I P KING 👑 X
Roy Orbison had a better voice
So fine 😍
I must be on an "Elvis" Day today. But I`ll tell you what : If I`d have been him I would never have married and would also, by now, have as many descendants as Genghis Khan.
When Elvis left the building, he left it on fire. That`s why he left the fckng building !
How cool is this track
