Oh I'm going, yes I'm going to the love that's ever growing
To that coal black mammy of mine
Not a cent, not a cent and my clothes are only lent
All the same she'll think I'm divine


Oh behind the barn down on my knees
(Oh tell what you learnt)
I thought I heard a chicken sneeze
Atchoo
Polly wolly doodle all the day

Fare thee well, fare thee well,
Fare thee well my fairy fay
For I'm going to Lou'siana
For to see my Susyanna
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day


Some folks like to sigh,
Some folks do, some folks do;
Some folks like to cry,
But that's not me nor you.

Oh Long live the merry, merry heart
That laughs by night and day
Like the Queen of Mirth,
No matter what some folks say.


Oh when the sains, oh when the saints
Oh when the saints go marching in
Oh lord I wanna be in that ever loving number
Oh when the saints go marching in


Back home in Tennesse
Just try to picture me
Right on my mother's knee
She thinks the world of me

Why, she'll be right there to meet you.
Just imagine how she'll greet you
When I get back, where
When I get back, where
To my home in Tennessee


I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie.
Away, away, away down south in Dixie.
Away, away, away down south in Dixie


When that midnight choochoo leaves for Alabam',
I'll be right there,
I've got my fare
When I see that rusty-haired conductor man,
I'm gonna grab by the collar
And I'll holler,
Alabam' Alabam'

That's where you stop your train
That brings me back again,
Down home where I'll remain
Where my honey lamb am!
I will be right there with bells
When that old conductor yells,
All aboard, all aboard, all aboard for Alabam


Oh De Camptown ladies sing dis song, Doo-dah! doo-dah!
De Camptown race-track five miles long, Doo, doo-dah day!
I went down dah wid my hat caved in, Doo-dah-day! doo-dah-day
Doo-dah-doo-dah-day
I go back home wid a pocket full of tin, Doo, doo-dah day!

Gwine to run all night!
Gwine to run all day!
I'll bet my money on de bob-tail nag,
Somebody bet on de bay. 

Doo-dah, Doo-dah
Day doo-dah-day

Gwine to run all night!
Gwine to run all day!
I'll bet my money on de bob-tail nag,
Somebody bet on de bay. 

Doo-dah, Doo-dah
Day doo-dah-day
