Oh, I went down South
For to see my Sal
Sing Polly-Wolly-Doodle all the day
My Sal is a spunky gal
Sing Polly-Wolly-Doodle all the day
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
Fare thee well my fairy fay
For I'm going to Lou'siana
For to see my Susy-anna
Singing Polly-Wolly-Doodle all the day
Oh, my Sal, she is a maiden fair
Sing Polly-Wolly-Doodle all the day
With curly eyes
And laughing hair
Sing Polly-Wolly-Doodle all the day
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
Fare thee well my fairy fay
For I'm going to Lou'siana
For to see my Susy-anna
Singing Polly-Wolly-Doodle all the day
Oh, I went to bed
But it wasn't no use
Sing Polly-Wolly-Doodle all the day
My feet stuck out
Like a chicken roost
Sing Polly-Wolly-Doodle all the day
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
Fare thee well my fairy fay
For I'm going to Lou'siana
For to see my Susy-anna
Sing Polly-Wolly-Doodle all the day
Oh, a grasshopper sittin'
On a railroad track
Sing Polly-Wolly-Doodle all the day
A-pickin' his teeth
With a carpet tack
Sing Polly-Wolly-Doodle all the day
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
Fare thee well my fairy fay
For I'm going to Lou'siana
For to see my Susy-anna
Sing Polly-Wolly-Doodle all the day
Behind the barn
Down on my knees
Sing Polly-Wolly-Doodle all the day
I thought I heard
A chicken sneezing
Sing Polly-Wolly-Doodle all the day
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
Fare thee well my fairy fay
For I'm going to Lou'siana
For to see my Susy-anna
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
He sneezed so hard
With the whooping cough
Sing Polly-Wolly-Doodle all the day
He sneezed his head
And tail right off
Sing Polly-Wolly-Doodle all the day
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
Fare thee well my fairy fay
For I'm going to Lou'siana
For to see my Susy-anna
Sing Polly-Wolly-Doodle all the day
