[Verse 1]
Swing your partner to the right
Lonesome day and a lonesome night
Thought I heard a pretty girl say
Skip to my Lou my darlin'
Skip to my Lou my darlin'
[Verse 2]
Lost my partner, what do I do?
Lost my partner, what do I do?
Lost my partner, what do I do?
Skip to my Lou my darlin'
[Bridge: multiple vocalists, more than one vocalist and all]
He's gone again, he's gone again
He's gone again, he's gone again
He's gone again
Skip to my Lou my darlin'
[Verse 3]
I'll get another one better than you
I'll get another one better than you
I'll get another one better than you
Skip to my Lou my darlin'
[Chorus: ]
Lou, Lou, skip to my Lou
Lou, Lou, skip to my Lou
Lou, Lou, skip to my Lou
Skip to my Lou my darlin'
[Verse 4]
My old man's in Kalamazoo
He don't wear no “yes I do”
First to the left and then to the right
Swing your partner day and night
[Verse 5]
Little red wagon, paint it blue
Little red wagon, paint it blue
Little red wagon, paint it blue
Skip to my Lou my darlin'
[Bridge: multiple vocalists, more than one vocalist and all]
He's gone again, he's gone again
He's gone again, he's gone again
He's gone again
Skip to my Lou my darlin'
[Verse 6]
Kitten in the haystack, mew mew mew
Kitten in the haystack, mew mew mew
Kitten in the haystack, mew mew mew
Skip to my Lou my darlin'
[Chorus]
Lou, Lou, skip to my Lou
Lou, Lou, skip to my Lou
Lou, Lou, skip to my Lou
Skip to my Lou my darlin'
[Chorus]
Lou, Lou, skip to my Lou
Lou, Lou, skip to my Lou
Lou, Lou, skip to my Lou
Skip to my Lou my darlin'
[Outro: multiple vocalists, more than one vocalist and all]
He's gone again, he's gone again
He's gone again, he's gone again
He's gone again
Skip to my Lou my darlin'
