Oh, I went down south for to see my Sal
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
Oh, my Sal she am a spunky girl
Sing Polly wolly oodle all the day.

Chorus
Fare thee well, fare thee well
Fare thee well my fairy fay
For I´m goin´ to Louisiana for to see my Susy-anna
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day.

Oh, my Sal she am a maiden fair
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
With curly eyes and laughing hair
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day.

I came to a river and couldn´t get across
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
I jumped on a gator and thought he was a hoss
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day.

A grasshopper sitting on a railroad track
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
A picking his teeth with a carpet tack
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day.
