Lyrics by Anonymous
Oh, I went down South for to see my Sal
Sing polly wolly doodle all the day
My Sally was a spunky gal
Sing polly wolly doodle all the day
Chorus:
Fare the well, fare the well
Fair the well, my fairy fay
For I’m off to Louisiana
For to see my Susy Anna
Singing 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
Oh a grasshopper sitting on a railroad track
Sing polly wolly doodle all the day
A pickin his teeth with a carpet tack
Sing polly wolly doodle all the day
Chorus
Oh I went to bed but it wasn’t no use
Sing polly wolly doodle all the day
My feet stuck out for a chicken roost
Sing polly wolly doodle all the day
Chorus
Behind the barn down on my knees
Sing polly wolly doodle all the day
I thought I heard that chicken sneeze
Sing polly wolly doodle all the day
Chorus
He sneezed so hard with the whoopin cough
Sing polly wolly doodle all the day
He sneezed his head and his tail right off
Sing polly wolly doodle all the day
Chorus
From These Happy Golden Years
