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

Gone again, skip to my Lou
Skip to my Lou my darling

I'll get another one, prettier ‘n new
Skip to my Lou my darling

Little red wagon painted blue
Skip to my Lou my darling

Flies in the buttermilk, two by two
Skip to my Lou my darling

Flies in the sugar bowl, shou shou shou
Skip to my Lou my darling

Lots more verses but this will have to do
Skip to my Lou my darling
