A silly little song first published in a Harvard student songbook in 1880.
lyrics
Oh, I went down South
For to see my Sal
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
My Sal, she is
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 going to Lou'siana
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
Fare thee well,
Fare thee well,
Fare thee well my fairy fay
For I'm going to Lou'siana
For to see my Susy-anna
Singing Polly wolly doodle all the day
Behind the barn,
Down on my knees
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
I thought I heard
A chicken sneezing
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
Fare thee well,
Fare thee well,
Fare thee well my fairy fay
For I'm going to Lou'siana
For to see my Susy-anna
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
He sneezed so hard
With the whooping cough
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
He sneezed his head
And 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 going to Lou'siana
For to see my Susy-anna
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
Oh, a grasshopper sittin'
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
Fare thee well,
Fare thee well,
Fare thee well my fairy fay
For I'm going to Lou'siana
For to see my Susy-anna
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
Oh, I went to bed
But it wasn't no use
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
My feet stuck out
Like a chicken roost
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
Fare thee well,
Fare thee well,
Fare thee well my fairy fay
For I'm going to Lou'siana
For to see my Susy-anna
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
