Oh i went down south for to see my gal

Oh my sal she's a spunky gal
Polly wolly doodle all day
Fare thee well fare thee well fare thee well my fairy fay
For i'm going to luzianna for to see my suzianna
Singing polly wolly doodle all the day
Oh my sal she's a maiden fair
Singing polly wolly doodle all the day
With curly eyes and laughing hair
Polly wolly doodle all the day
Fare thee well fare thee well fare thee well my fairy fay
For i'm going to luzianna for to see my suzianna
Singing polly wolly doodle all the day
I went up north to see my guy
Polly wolly doodle all the day
My guy si had a cinder in his eye
Singing polly wolly doodle all the day
Fare thee well fare thee well fare thee well my fairy fay
For i'm going to luzianna for to see my suzianna
Singing polly wolly doodle all the day
I went outside to see my friend named pete
Polly wolly doodle all the day
But he was down in the basement polishing his feet
Polly wolly doodle all the day
Fare thee well fare thee well fare thee well my fairy fay
For i'm going to luzianna for to see my suzianna
Singing polly wolly doodle all the day
