Burl Ives - Polly Wolly Doodle lyrics

7. POLLY WOLLY DOODLE

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.
