Polly Wolly Doodle

G Oh, a grasshopper sat on a railroad track

Oh, I went down south for to see my Sal, Singing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day,

Picking his teeth with a carpet tack

D7 Singing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day.

Singing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day

(Chorus)

My Sal she is a spunky gal.

G Oh, I went to bed but it weren't no use

Singing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day Singing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day,

'cause my feet stuck out like a chicken's

Chorus: roost

G Singing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day.

Fare thee well, fare thee well,

(Chorus)

Fare thee well my fairy fay, From behind the barn, down upon my

knees

For I'm gone to Louisiana Singing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day,

I could swear I heard that chicken sneeze.

for to see my Susiana Singing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day.

Singing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day (Chorus)

 

He sneezed so hard with the whooping

Oh, my Sal she is a maiden fair,

cough

Singing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day

Singing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day,

With curly eyes and laughing hair.

That he sneezed his head and tail right off

Singing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day

Singing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day.

(Chorus)

(Chorus)
