There are people who argue it should be "Poke Salet Annie" (salet, not salad).

But I'm going with what's been on every single copy of the record.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polk_Salad_Annie

https://www.columbiadailyherald.com/story/opinion/columns/2014/01/13/poke-salet-it-s-southern/25738217007/

Hey, it could have been worse. I posted Led Zeppelin's "South Bound Saurez" some time back, and I'm pretty sure that's a permanent misspelling of "Southbound Soiree" since Robert Plant sings "soiree" during the song.

And "Sail On Sailor" was titled like that, no comma, when the Beach Boys first released it, and the covers often don't use any comma either, though the Beach Boys later corrected it to "Sail On, Sailor."

Obviously there's a shortage of copy editors at record labels. We'll all just have to deal with it...
