Oh, I went down south to see my Sal
Singing Polly Wolly doodle all the day
My Sal she am a spunky gal
Singing Polly Wolly doodle all the day

Fare thee well, fare thee well
Fare thee well my fairy fay
Oh, I'm goin' to Louisiana for to see my Susi-anna
Singing Polly Wolly doodle all the day

Oh, my Sal she is a maiden fair
Singing Polly Wolly doodle all the day
With curly eyes and laughing hair
Singing Polly Wolly doodle all the day

Fare thee well, fare thee well
Fare thee well my fairy fay
Oh, I'm goin' to Louisiana for to see my Susi-anna
Singing Polly Wolly doodle all the day

A bullfrog sitting on a railroad track
Singing Polly Wolly doodle all the day
Just picking his teeth with a carpet tack
Singing Polly Wolly doodle all the day

Fare thee well, fare thee well
Fare thee well my fairy fay
Oh, I'm goin' to Louisiana for to see my Susi-anna
Singing Polly Wolly doodle all the day

Behind the barn, down on my knees
Singing Polly Wolly doodle all the day
I thought I heard a chicken sneeze
Singing Polly Wolly doodle all the day

Fare thee well, fare thee well
Fare thee well my fairy fay
Oh, I'm goin' to Louisiana for to see my Susi-anna
Singing Polly Wolly doodle all the day

Fare thee well, fare thee well
Fare thee well my fairy fay
Oh, I'm goin' to Louisiana for to see my Susi-anna
Singing Polly Wolly doodle all the day
