Polly-Wolly-Doodle
-
Oh, my Sal, she is a maiden fair,
Sing “Polly-Wolly-Doodle” all the day!
With laughing eyes and curly hair,
Sing “Polly-Wolly-Doodle” all the day!
Refrein:
Fare thee well! Fare thee well!
Fare well my fairy fay!
Oh, I’m off to Louisiana,
For to see my Susy Anna,
Singing “Polly-Wolly-Doodle” all the day! -
Oh, I came to a river and I couldn’t get across,
Sing “Polly-Wolly-Doodle” all the day!
And I jumped upon a nigger
for I thought he was a hoss,
Sing “Polly-Wolly-Doodle” all the day! -
Oh! A grasshopper sitting 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! -
Behind the bar upon 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 with the hoopin’-cough,
Sing “Polly-Wolly-Doodle” all the day!
He sneezed his head and his tail right off,
Sing “Polly-Wolly-Doodle” all the day!
