skipping

[cacian]

i skip
skip
skip
to the
slick and
flick of rope
so cool
i could uphold
skipping
longer then
i could
up
and down
to lawn
in between
the pause
i rose
rollers to
the
slopes
jumping is
an art of hope

i skip
skip
skip
to the
slick and flick
of rope
so cool
i could have
wished
skipping
even longer then i hoped
up and down
to lawn
and between
the pause
i rose
skippers
to their
toes
slipping
is to
ladder's load

JUDY GARLAND - SKIP TO MY LOU LYRICS

[cacian]

nice one cafolini. Judy Garland and the Wizzard of Us. I watched a program about her recently and it was a very sad lonely end she met when she died. apparently she had moved to London and eventually lost everything and became. she died a lonely death. very tragic indeed.

[cafolini]

There are many versions. That one is Judy's.
The “loo” in the title is the Scottish word for “love.” The spelling change from “loo” to “lou” probably happened as Anglo-Americans, and the song, became Americanized

Here are some of the most common.

Skip, skip, skip to my Lou, (3x)
Skip to my Lou, my darlin'.
(Changing verse here). (repeated 3 times)
Skip to my Lou, my darlin'.
The changing verse
Fly's in the buttermilk, Shoo, fly, shoo
There's a little red wagon, Paint it blue
Lost my partner, What'll I do?
I'll get another one, Prettier than you
Can't get a red bird, Jay bird'll do
Cat's in the cream jar, Ooh, ooh, ooh
Off to Texas, Two by two
Skip, skip, skip to the Lou,
Skip, skip, skip to the Lou,
Skip, skip, skip to the Lou,
Skip to the Lou, my darlin'.

Flies in the buttermilk, Shoo fly shoo! (3x)
