Yes that same phrase is present in Polk Salad Annie as well. Never knew that because I was more familiar with Another Night in the Life of a Swamp Fox. Both songs sound a lot alike too. I had heard of the song but I don't think I had ever even listened to it before. Thanks.

The Song actually should have been named Poke Sallet Annie. Sallet means cooked greens, poke refers to polkweed or polk which grows wild, and Annie was the girl the song was referring to. The song describes the lifestyle of a poor rural Southern girl and her family.

Note: I never knew any of this about the song myself, instead I got this from Wikipedia, which is accurate about somethings. It sounds reasonable as well.
