Oh, I went down south for to see myself
Singing polly, wolly, doodle all the day
Myself, she is a spunky gal
Singing polly, wolly, doodle all the day
Fare thee well,
fare thee well
Fare thee well, my fairy fae
For I'm going to Louisiana for to see my Susie Anna
Singing polly, wolly, doodle all the day
Oh,
a grasshopper sat on a railroad track Singing polly,
wolly,
doodle all the day
Just picking his teeth with a carpet tack Singing polly,
wolly,
doodle all the day
Fare thee well,
fare thee well
Fare thee well, my fairy fae
For I'm going to Louisiana for to see my Susie Anna Singing polly,
wolly,
doodle all the day
Behind the barn,
down on my knees Singing polly,
wolly,
doodle all the day
Fare thee well,
fare thee well
Fare thee well, my fairy fae
Louisiana,
Fortissima,
Susie,
Annecy,
Polly,
Molly,
doodle all the day!
