Oh, I went down south to see my Sal
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
My Sally she am 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 off to Lousiana, for to see my Susyanna
Sing 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 off to Lousiana, for to see my Susyanna
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day

Oh a grasshopper sitting on a rail road 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 off to Lousiana, for to see my Susyanna
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 the chicken sneeze
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day

Oh he sneezed so hard, had a whooping cough
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
He sneezed his head and his 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 off to Lousiana, for to see my Susyanna
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
