Lyrics

POLLYWOLLY DOODLE additional lyrics S. Nikas

I went down south on a bumpy road
Polly Wolly Doodle all the day
With a homesick heart and a heavy load
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day

Fare thee Well, Fare thee Well
Fare thee well my fairy Faye
For I'm going to Louisiana, for to see my Susiana
Sing Polly Wolly Doodly all the day

I came to a river and I couldn't get across
So I jumped on a gator 'cause I thought he was a horse

Fare thee Well, Fare thee Well
Fare thee well my fairy Faye
For I'm going to Louisiana, for to see my Susiana
Sing Polly Wolly Doodly all the day

I walked all day and I walked all night
Polly Wolly Doodle All the Day
At last my home came into sight
Sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day

Fare thee Well, Fare thee Well
Fare thee well my fairy Faye
For I'm going to Louisiana, for to see my Susiana
Sing Polly Wolly Doodly all the day
