Skip to my Lou

Okay, remember, the chords we're using are F and C7:

[F] Skip, skip, skip to my lou,
[C7] Skip, skip, skip to my lou,
[F] Skip, skip, skip to my lou,
[C7] Skip to my lou, my [F] darling.

[F] Flies in the buttermilk, shoo fly shoo,
[C7] Flies in the buttermilk, shoo fly shoo,
[F] Flies in the buttermilk, shoo fly shoo,
[C7] Skip to my lou, my [F] darling. 

Skip To My Lou is something that was at one time called a "ring dance" song -- a game played by kids where everybody would couple up except one lone loser in the middle who would pick a verse to sing and then "steal" partner from somebody else. The one who lost their partner would have to go in the middle. Thus the verse:

Lost my partner, what'll I do?

followed by:

I'll find another one prettier than you!
