For those who wanted it.....

Now my original post asked for help with the chord-fills. I ALMOST have
them worked out, but it's not quite right yet. So any help from you good
old boys would be welcome.

(Thanks also for the truck patch enlightenment, so is there a doll called
a truck patch kid ? <grin>)

I have recieved a few requests for this song, so I' like to play it for you
now, is this thing on ? <knock> <knock> <feedback> <cough> can you hear me
at the back ? Well shut up ! You wanna shut up ?

Now some o'you all never been down south too much, I'm gonna tell you a
little bit about this so that you understand what I'm talking about.

Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods and the fields
looks somethin' like a turnip green. 'N everybody calls it polk salad. 

Polk.....  Salad

Grunt

Used to know a girl lived down there and she'd go out in the evenin's and
pick her a mess of it. Carry it home amd cook it for supper. 'Cause
that's about all they had to eat. They did alright.


Now down in Louisiana where the alligators grow so mean,


There lived a girl, that I swear to the world, 
 
                          E7  E7 (pick the Ab) 
Made the alligators look tame

           A  A7             E

Everybody said it was a shame,

Now every day before suppertime, she'd go down by the truck-patch

                                                E7        E7(pick the Ab) 
        
And pick her a mess of polk salad, and carry it home in a tote sack
