Oh, I went down south for to see my Sal
Singing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
Oh 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 Susi-anna
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day.

On a railroad track
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
A-pickin' his teeth with a carpet tack
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day

Fare thee well my fairy fay
For I'm goin' to Louisiana for to see my Susi-anna
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day.
