Oh I went down south
for to see my Sal
Singin' polly-wolly-doodle
all the day
My Sally is a spunky gal
Singin' polly-wolly-doodle
all the day
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
my fairy fay
For I'm goin' to Lou'siana
for to see my Suzyanna
Singin' polly-wolly-doodle
all the day
Oh my Sal
She is a maiden fair
Singin' polly-wolly-doodle
all the day
With curly eyes
and laughin' hair
Singin' polly-wolly-doodle
all the day
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
my fairy fay
For I'm goin' to Lou'siana
for to see my Suzyanna
Singin' polly-wolly-doodle
all the day
Oh a grasshopper
sittin' on a railroad track
Singin' polly-wolly-doodle
all the day
Just a-pickin' his teeth
with a carpet tack
Singin' polly-wolly-doodle
all the day
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
my fairy fay
For I'm goin' to Lou'siana
for to see my Suzyanna
Singin' polly-wolly-doodle
all the day
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
my fairy fay
For I'm goin' to Lou'siana
for to see my Suzyanna
Singin' polly-wolly-doodle
all the day
