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.

CHORUS: Fare thee well, Fare thee well,
Fare thee well, my fairy fay,
For I'm off to Lousiana, For to see my Susyanna,
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.

CHORUS:

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.

CHORUS:

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.

CHORUS:
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 had Whooping cough
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day.
He sneeze his head and his tail right off
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day.

CHORUS:
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day.
