Every day ‘fore suppertime
She’d go down by the truck patch
And pick herself a mess o’ pokl salad
And carry it home in a tote sack
Polk Salad Annie, gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
Because her mama was a workin on the chain gang
A wretched, spiteful, straight razor totin’ woman!

When you’re weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry
them all;
I’m on your side. When times get rough
And friends just can’t be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

If you got certain things on board when you go through the tollgate
Well you don’t have to pay the man no toll
Well a train driver he pulled up to the tollgate
And a man hollered and asked him what all he had on board and said

I got a friend named Whiskey Sam
He was my boonierat buddy for a year in Nam
He said is my country just a little off track
Took ’em twenty-five years to welcome me back
But, it’s better than not coming back at all
Many a good man
I saw fall And even now,
every time I dream I hear the men
and the monkeys in the jungle scream

Don’t know that I will but until I can find me
A girl who’ll stay and won’t play games behind me

I’ve had it here – being where love’s a small word
A part time thing
A paper ring

She’s a butterfly in mid July
Who just can’t wait to try her brand new wings
On brand new things
And she needs no rhyme or reason, when she goes
Her mind is on what lies beyond that wall of blue horizon
I suppose
And heaven knows
She’ll go sailin’ off on any old wind that blows
Yes she will, yes she will
She’ll go sailin’ off on any old wind that blows
