[E]
[A] [E] What are you [A] looking at back there?

[A] [E]
[A]
[E]
Some of y'all never been down south too much.
[Em] I'm gonna tell you a little story so you'll understand what I'm [E] talking about.
Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods and the fields.
[Em] And it looks something like a turnip green.
And everybody calls it Pope's Salad.
[A] [E]
And that's Pope's Salad.
Hut!
Hut, two, three, four, hut, hut, two, three, four, hut, hut, two, three, four, hut.
[D] Anyway, [A] I used to know a girl down there.
[E] She'd go out [D] in the evenings and pick a mess of [A] it and carry it home and cook it for supper.
[E] That's about all they had to eat.
But they did all right.
Down in Louisiana, where the alligators grow so mean.
There lived a girl that I swear to the world, made the alligators love her.
Pope's [A] Salad Annie, [Em] you're a lucky lady.
[G] Everybody said it was [A] a shame, [G] cause her mama was a-workin' [A] on the chain gang.
[E]
[A] A mean, [E] vicious,
[A] [E] straight-raised, a-talkin' woman.
Lord have mercy.
[Em]
[E] Every day before supper time, she'd go down by the truck patch and pick her a mess of Pope's Salad
and carry it home and toast it.
[A] Pope's Salad Annie, you're [Em] a lucky lady.
Everybody said it was a [A] shame, cause [G] her mama was a-workin' on [A] the chain gang.
