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 there's a lotta do
Skip to my lou my darling
