Skip To My Lou - Singalong Lyrics Video

I hope you enjoy this fun singalong karaoke-style video I illustrated and animated for the traditional nursery song “Skip To My Lou.” 

“Skip to My Lou” is a well-known American folk song and partner-stealing square dance that originated in the 1840s.

“Skip to My Lou” is a game where couples skip in a ring while a lone boy in the centre sings, “Lost my partner, what’ll I do?” As he chooses a girl, her partner moves to the centre. The game involves stealing or swapping partners.

Skip To My Lou

Lyrics:

Lou, Lou skip to my lou (x3)

Skip to my Lou my darling

Fly in the buttermilk, shoo, fly, shoo (x3)

Skip to my Lou my darling

Lou, Lou skip to my lou (x3)

Skip to my Lou my darling

Cat's in the cream jar, ooh, ooh, ooh (x3)

Off to Texas, two by two (x3)

Skip to my Lou my darling

Lou, Lou skip to my lou (x3)
