Biografia:
Tony Joe White, conhecido como a "Raposa do Pântano" por ser um dos criadores do swamp rock, nasceu em Louisiana em 23/07/1943. Iniciou a carreira tocando em clubes do Texas na década de 60. Em 1968, como tantos outros, achou a estrada que levava a Nashville, Tennessee. Foi pouco depois dessa mudança que Tony chegou ao seu primeiro grande sucesso, "Polk Salad Annie", do album Black & White. Esta canção foi gravada depois por Tom Jones e era uma das favoritas de Elvis Presley.

[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
[Chorus]
N.C. A A7
Polk salad Annie
E
Gators got your granny
G A
Everybody said it was a shame
G A E
For the mama was working on the chain-gang
E
What a mean, vicious woman
[Verse]
E
Everyday before suppertime
E E7
She'd go down by the truck patch
E
And pick her a mess of Polk salad
E
And carry it home in a tote sack
[Chorus]
N.C. A
Polk salad Annie
E
Gators got you granny
G A
Everybody said it was a shame
G A E
' Cause the mama was working on the chain-gang
E
Whoo, how wretched, dispiteful, straight-razor totin' woman,
[Bridge]
E E7
Sock a little Polk salad to him
E
Yeah, you know what, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
E
Her daddy was a lazy and a no-count
E
Claimed he had a bad back
E
All her brothers were fit for
E
Was stealing watermelons out of my truck
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
[Chorus]
