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.

Chorus:
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.

Chorus
