Shoo, fly, don't bother me!

Shoo, fly, don't bother me.

Shoo, fly, don't bother me.

For I belong to somebo-dy!

Oh, I went down South to see my Sal,

Singing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day!

My Sal she is a spunky gal,

Singing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day!

Fare thee well, fare thee well, Fare thee well my fairy fae,

For I went to Louisiana for to see my Susy-ana,

Singing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day!
