Oh I went down South for to see my Sal,
Singin' Polly Wolly Doodle all the day,
For my Sal she was 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 off to Lou'siana for to see my Susy Anna
Singin' Polly Wolly Doodle all the day.

Oh my Sally was such a maiden fair,
Singin' Polly Wolly Doodle all the day,
With her curly eyes and her laughing hair.
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day.

Chorus

Oh a grasshopper sat on a railroad track
Singin' Polly Wolly Doodle all the day,
Was a-pickin' his teeth with a carpet tack.
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day.

Chorus

Oh I went to bed but it weren't no use
Singin' Polly Wolly Doodle all the day,
'Cause my feet stuck out for a chicken's roost.
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day.

Chorus

From behind the barn, down upon my knees
Singin' Polly Wolly Doodle all the day,
I could swear I heard that ol' chicken sneeze.
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day.

Chorus

An' he sneezed so hard with the 'hoopin' cough
Singin' Polly Wolly Doodle all the day,
That he sneezed his head an' his tail right off
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day.

Chorus
