Oh, I went down south for to see my Sal
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
Oh, my Sal she am a spunky girl
Sing Polly wolly oodle all the day.

Chorus
Fare thee well, fare thee well
Fare thee well my fairy fay
For I'm goin' to Louisiana for to see my Susy-anna
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day.

Oh, my Sal she am a maiden fair
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
With curly eyes and laughing hair
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day.

I came to a river and couldn't get across
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
I jumped on a gator and thought he was a hoss
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day.

A grasshopper sitting on a railroad track
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
A picking his teeth with a carpet tack
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day.
