Skip to my lou

1) Flies in the buttermilk, two by two,
flies in the buttermilk, two by two,
flies in the buttermilk, two by two.

Ref.: Skip to my lou, my darling.
She’s gone again, skip to my lou,
she’s gone again, skip to my lou,
she’s jone again, skip to my lou,
skip to my lou, my darling.

2) I’ve lost my girl, now what’ll I do
I’ll get another, a better one too.

3) My girl wears a number nine shoe
Gone again, now what’ll I do.

4) I’ll get another one, sweeter than you
He’s got big feet and awkward, too.

5) I’ll get her back in spite of you
We’ll keep it up till half past two.

6) One old boot and a rundown shoe
Stole to my partner, skip to my lou.
