[C#m]
[E] [A] [E] What are you looking at back [C#m] there?
[E]
Some of y'all never been down south too much.
I'm gonna tell you a little story so you'll understand what 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.
And everybody calls it Coke [E] Salad.
And that's Coke Salad.
[E]
[Em]
[E] [A] [Em] [E]
[Em]
[A] [Em] Da!
He [E] wasn't in the army.
Hut, loop, peep, whoop, whoop.
Hut, loop, peep, whoop, whoop.
Ah, God.
Anyway, I used to know a girl living down there.
She'd go out in the evenings and pick her mess of it,
and carry it home and cook it [A] 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 me.
[A] No, you said it, Annie.
[E] You've got your brain.
[Em]
[G] Everybody said it [A] was a shame,
[G] cause her mama was a [A]-workin' on a chain gang.
[Em] [E] A mean, vicious, straight razor-totin' woman.
Lord have mercy.
[Em] [E]
Every day before supper time,
she'd go down by the truck patch,
and pick her mess of pork salad,
and carry it home and cook [G#m] it for supper.
Oh, [A] you said it, Annie.
[Em] You've got your brain.
[G] Everybody said it was [A] a shame,
[G] cause her mama was a-workin' [A] on a chain gang.
[E] [A] [E]
Suck a little, folks.
[A] [E]
[A] [E] Her daddy was lazy and no count,
and he had a bad back.
All her brothers were fit for it.
She'd haul the melons out of my truck patch.
[A] Oh, you said it, Annie.
[Em] You've got your brain.
[G]
Everybody said [A] it was a shame,
[G] cause her mama was [A] a-workin' on a chain gang.
[E] [Em] [E] Suck a little, pork salad.
You know what it needs.
Suck a little.
[N] [G#m]
Help!
[A] [Bm] [E]
Suck a little, pork salad.
You know what it needs.
Suck a little.
Help!
You know what it needs.
Suck a little.
Suck a little.
Help!
Suck a little, pork salad.
[N] Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Hang loose, man.
I'll get it for you.
Don't worry.
Okay.
[A] We got the Wonder of You on the charts over there.
All right.
We'll get it.
Hey, give me that A chord, man.
