Oh, I went down South for 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,
For I'm goin' to Louisiana for to see my Susyanna,
Sing 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,
For I'm goin' to Louisiana for to see my Susyanna,
Sing 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,
For I'm goin' to Louisiana for to see my Susyanna,
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day.
