Oh I went down south for to see my sal
Singing polly wolly doodle all the day
My sal she is a spunky gal
Singing polly wolly doodle all the day
Fare thee well fare thee well
Fare thee well my fairy fair
I'm going to louisiana for to see my susiana
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
For I'm going to louisiana for to see my susiana
Singing polly wolly doodle all the day
Oh a grasshopper sitting on a railroad track
Singing polly wolly doodle all the day
A pickin 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
For I'm going to louisiana for to see my susiana
Singing polly wolly doodle all the day
Oh I went to bed but it wasn't any use
Singing polly wolly doodle all the day
My feet stuck out like a chicken roof
Singing polly wolly doodle all the day
Fare thee well fare thee well
Fare thee well my fairy fay
For I'm going to louisiana for to see my susiana
Singing polly wolly doodle all the day
