[gerdenshed]

@coreyacp

Too right, and so you should lol..

Mark...

[KyplayaZ4lyfe]

i have the charts and they have it as Polk so there ya go lol.

[gerdenshed]

@KyplayaZ4lyfe

Tony Joe White spells it 'Polk' on the cover of his single, so there you go ;o)

[floydbluethereal]

Hey Mark, just about a minute ago I thought of this song and without searching for it, I stumbled over this video! It's a miracle... :)

[BrightonBeachBabe]

Just love this song!! I first heard TJW whilst sitting in a street cafe in Ibiza in 1981 and kept going back there to listen - then I met this guy who believe it or not, knew him, had just been to a live concert and had a LP in the boot of his car which he gave to me! such a good singer/songwriter :) thanks for posting

[cossie2400]

great song and perfect sound!!!!

[cossie2400]

great song and perfect sound!!!!

[chinzebo]

Great song..BUT I believe it's POKE Salad from the pokeweed but who cares!!

[gerdenshed]

@chinzebo

I think it's commonly spelt both ways as you say, it don't matter ;o)

Mark.

[tjelect7]

TJW! Awesome video. Wil never forget you. From Southrn Boy, born and Grazed.

[slovacek59]

i know all the words too-----great

[virgodrum]

I used to listen to this over and over at age 12....41 years later I still know every word....Tony Joe rocks.

[gerdenshed]

It's just great isn't it

Mark...

[meglea777]

@gerdenshed

Yes it surely is...

[Ernest471023]

Very good blues.

"Poke Salad Annie, gators got your Granny..(chomp)"........

[gerdenshed]

Thank you Martha ;-)

Mark...

[cydonianman]

hehehehe

best line in the song :D

[gerdenshed]

True ;-)

Mark..

[srvinfinity]

The song is gone (great song by the way)

but the vidio lingers on. HA!

[gerdenshed]

Thank you, where's it gone?

Mark...

[srvinfinity]

It's just an old funny saying "The song is gone but the memory lingers on" But in this case it's the vido that plays on w/out the music to the end of the song. Thankyou, it's a great fun summer time tune. Always loved it!

[gerdenshed]

That's very very strange my friend... The video and the sound used to end together! How strange!

Mark....

[gerdenshed]

Wow! I just checked the original video and it ends just the same as this one. Somehow I never noticed! I must be losing the plot lol...

Mark..

[gcdcjccc]

now that is just a great number even some forty years later ....vintage

[gerdenshed]

It's a classic for sure ;-)

Mark...

[robertdegiro]

uuummmhh nerrrve

[ville666valo666lover]

jimmy thanks for this. my old friend terry munci used to come over and play guitar at our house and just spend timre having fun jamming etc.. and this was one of his favs and it became one of mine. thanks for the memories

[gerdenshed]

Glad you liked it ;-)

Mark...

[mackiejw]

Thanks for putting that on. Had another link, but that has been removed for what ever reason.

Tony Joe at his best.

[stumiller]

They spelled it like that on the record and the song but everyone knows it's really poke sallet, not Polk Salad. One of the greatest down south songs ever written, along with Amos Moses from Jerry Reed.

[gerdenshed]

You're right Stu, I suppose they commercialised it for the masses. Glad you like it my friend ;-)

Mark...

[ellajames69]

excellent, but i also love Elvis' cover

[gerdenshed]

I love Elvis' cover too. Thet're both great ;-)

Mark...

[ELGROOVER]

A truckin' neat beat, kick ass brass, dang fine twang...."uunnnghhh!!" Wot more d'ya need, ace! ☺

[51alandee]

Tony Joe's sister and nephew manage the marina in Nashville where I keep my boat.....Tony is out here when he has the oppurtunity fishing ..... They are all great people ...... love his music ...... His nephew sounds a lot like him when singing ......

[ashley19smom]

Man I love this song!! This version too!! So much funk. I couldn't sit still. Thank you for this post! I really enjoyed it!! Brenda O.

[gerdenshed]

Tony Joe White wrote this song, Elvis did a cover of it :-)

Mark...

[ashley19smom]

Yeah I knew Elvis had done it as well. I told someone that T.J. White did it first but they argued with me, so I let it go, but all the while I was searching for the info. Now I know I was right. Thank you for helping me set the record straight. I favored your video too by the way, and I am about to subscribe as well. I really like the old stuff. Brenda O. 41yrs old.

[gerdenshed]

Thank you Brenda, I'm glad I settled that argument lol... :-)

Mark...

[nllleonard]

Oops, forgot to fave it!;)

[gerdenshed]

Naughty naughty lol.

[nllleonard]

Oh, I do love this one Gerdenshed! Hey, wait a minute! Seeing that dedication...do I remind you of Polk Salad Annie? LOL.

Tony Joe White could have just as well have been a Georgia boy. His songs ring so true for my part of the South. I especially love Rainy Night in Georgia too. Thanks for the excellent song and very kind dedication my friend!

[gerdenshed]

Down in louisiana

Where the alligators grow so mean

Lived a girl called Nancy who I swear to the world

Made the alligators look tame lol

gerdenshed...

[marcie99]

this is so sweet to dedicate this to Nancy as she is such a dedicated sweetheart!!! and love this song... this is really cool and loved the video too!

[gerdenshed]

Thank you Kathy...

gerdy :-)

[Johi2410]

Hi gerdenshed. I love this song. I think it's a really cool tune and reminds me of cruising through New York City (even though I never have LOL) - this sure is the sound of the 70s.

[gerdenshed]

Thanks Johi2410 :-) It was actually released in 1969 :-)

gerdenshed...

[Johi2410]

LOL You shouldn't have said that :D

Take care.
