Oh I went down South
For to see my Sal
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
My Sal she 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 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 going to Lou'siana
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
A chicken sneeze
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 Susyanna
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
