Verse
                     E
                     Down in Louisiana
             E
            Where the alligators grow so mean
           E
          Lived a girl that I swear to the world
              E
             Made the alligators look tame

                      Polk salad Annie
                                     E
                   Gators got your granny
                     G                  A

             G                       A           E
          For the mama was working on the chain-gang

                  What a mean, vicious woman

                E                         E7
               She'd go down by the truck patch
               E

    Whoo, how wretched, dispiteful, straight-razor totin' woman,

            Her daddy was a lazy and a no-count
                  E
                 Claimed he had a bad back
                E

         Was stealing watermelons out of my truck
