Classic Poem

Oh, I went down South for to see my Sal,
Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day;
My Sally am a spunky gal,
Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day.

Chorus

Fare thee well, farewell, fare thee well, farewell,
Fare thee well my fairy fay,
For I'm going to Louisiana,
For to see my Susyanna,
Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day.

Oh, my Sal, she am a maiden fair,
Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day;
With curly eyes and laughing hair,
Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day.

Behind de barn, down on my knees,
Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day;
I thought I heard a chicken sneeze,
Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day.

He sneezed so hard wid de whoopin' cough,
Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day;
He sneezed his head an' tail right off.
Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day.
