Burl Ives Polly Wolly Doodle lyrics

Polly wolly doodle, polly wolly doodle
Polly wolly doodle, polly wolly doodle

Oh, I went down south to see my Sal
Sing, "Polly wolly doodle" all the day
My Sally she am a spunky gal
Sing, "Polly wolly doodle" all the day

Fare thee well, fare thee well
Fare thee well, my fairy Fay
For I'm off to Louisiana, for to see my Susy Anna
Sing, "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

Fare thee well, fare thee well
Fare thee well, my fairy Fay
For I'm off to Louisiana, for to see my Susy Anna
Sing, "Polly wolly doodle" all the day

Oh, I like water mellon and I have for years
Sing, "Polly wolly doodle" all the day
I eat water mellon cause it gets on my ears
Sing, "Polly wolly doodle" all the day

Fare thee well, fare thee well
Fare thee well, my fairy Fay
For I'm off to Louisiana, for to see my Susy Anna

Sing, "Polly wolly doodle" all the day

Oh a grass hopper sitting on a rail road track
Sing, "Polly wolly doodle" all the day
A pickin' his teeth with a carpet tax
Sing, "Polly wolly doodle" all the day

Fare thee well, fare thee well
Fare thee well, my fairy Fay
I'm off to Louisiana, for to see my Susy Anna
Sing, "Polly wolly doodle" all the day

Behind the barn down on my knees
Sing, "Polly wolly doodle" all the day
I thought I heard the chicken sneeze
Sing, "Polly wolly doodle" all the day

Oh he sneezed so hard with a whooping cough
Sing polly wolly doodle all the day
He sneezed his head and his tail right off
Sing, "Polly wolly doodle" all the day

Fare thee well, fare thee well
Fare thee well, my fairy Fay
For I'm off to Louisiana, for to see my Susy Anna
Sing, "Polly wolly doodle", sing, "Polly wolly doodle"
Sing, "Polly wolly doodle" all the day
