Down there we got a plant.
It looks something like a turnip green.

_ _ That's poke _ salad. _ _ _
_ _ I used to know a girl that lived down there.
_ She'd go out in the evenings and pick a little bit of it and carry it home and cook it for supper. _
_ _ And if she had any left over, [E] she'd hang it out on the clothesline and dry it out, _ smoke it. _ _ _
She did all right. _ _ _
_ I said, down in Louisiana, where the alligator grow so many, there lived a girl that I swam
to the well, and the alligator looked heavy.
