[E] [A] [E] What are you looking at back there?
[C#m] [E] [A] [E] [A] [E]
[A] [E] Some of y'all never been down south too much
I'm gonna tell you a little story so she'll understand what I'm talking about
Now I never have a plant that grows out in the woods in the fields
And it looks something like a turnip green
Everybody calls it poke salad
That's poke
salad
[A] I [E] 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 for [A] summer.
[E] That's about all they had to eat.
But they did alright.
Down in Louisiana
Where the alligators grow so big
There lived a girl that I swear to the world
Made the alligators look so [A] fat
[E] [Em]
[G] Everybody said it was [A] a shame
[G] For the mama was a working [A] on the chain chain

All her brothers were fed for
And watermelon's out on by truck patch [A] Poke salad
