Skip To My Lou

Skip, skip, skip to my lou

Skip, skip, skip to my lou

Skip, skip, skip to my lou

Put on your Sunday, go to meetin'

And I'll take you by the hand

If you will be my dancin' partner

We will dance to beat the band

So join the promenade

And lead the big parade

And if you don't get home at all

Your pa will understand

Oh, choose partners, skip to my lou

Choose partners, skip to my lou

Choose partners, skip to my lou

Skip to my lou, my darlin'

Flies in the buttermilk, shoo, shoo, shoo

Flies in the buttermilk, shoo, shoo, shoo

Flies in the buttermilk, shoo, shoo, shoo

Skip to my lou, my darlin'

I'll be glad to go with you

So prithee, do not tarry

But if I do, it's up to you

To let me dance with Harry

Skip to my lou (Charlie)

Skip to my lou (Johnny)

Skip to my lou

Skip to my lou, my darlin'

Skip to my lou

Skip to my lou

Corner boy, buck and wing, corner girl

Ida booth by to the center and whirl

Everybody dance

Lost my partner (Skip to my lou)

Lost my partner (Skip to my lou)

Lost my partner (Skip)

Skip to my lou, my darlin'

I'll find another one prettier than you

I'll find another one prettier than you

I'll find another one prettier than you

Go to another party

Oh, I'll fly away to a neighborin' state

I don't care what my friends say

We'll dance and sing 'til broad daylight

I won't get home 'til Wednesday (Skip to my lou)

Thursday (Skip to my lou)

Friday (Skip to my lou)

Skip, skip, skip to my lou

Skip, skip, skip to my lou

Skip to my lou
