Oh, I went down South for to see my Sal,
Singing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day.
My Sal she is a spunky gal,
Singing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day.
Fare thee well, Fare thee well.
Fair thee well my fairy fay.
For I'm goin' to Lou'siana for to see my Suziana,
singing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day.
