about

“Skip to My Lou” adapted by Red Yarn from the traditional version, as published in John & Alan Lomax’s American Ballads and Folk Songs (1934). New lyrics by Andy Furgeson, 2015.

lyrics

One, two, skip to my Lou
One, two, skip to my Lou
One, two, skip to my Lou
Skip to my Lou, my darling…

Lost my partner, what’ll I do…
Skip to my Lou, my darling

I’ll find another one, anyone’ll do…
Skip to my Lou, my darling

The animals are lining up two by two
The animals are lining up two by two
Cuz the flood is coming
Whatcha gonna do?
Skip to my Lou, my darling

Everybody’s piling in my old canoe
Everybody’s piling in my old canoe
It ain’t no ark but it’s gonna have to do
Skip to my Lou, my darling

Lost my partner, what’ll I do…

Flies in the buttermilk, shoo fly shoo
Rats in the breadtray, chew chew chew
The rooster’s crowing cock-a-doodle-doo
Skip to my Lou, my darling

The sky is falling, whatcha gonna do?
Clouds all turning black and blue
There’s a hole in the ceiling
The water’s coming through
Skip to my Lou, my darling

Lost my partner, what’ll I do…

One, two, skip to my Lou…
