Fly's in the buttermilk, shoo, fly, shoo,
Fly's in the buttermilk, shoo, fly, shoo,
Fly's in the buttermilk, shoo, fly, shoo,
Skip, to my Lou, my darlin'.

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 darlin'.

I'll find another better than you,
I'll find another better than you,
I'll find another better than you, 
Skip to my Lou, my darlin'.

Fly's in the buttermilk, shoo, fly, shoo,
Fly's in the buttermilk, shoo, fly, shoo,
Fly's in the buttermilk, shoo, fly, shoo,
Skip to my Lou, my darlin.

Oh my darlin', skip to my Lou,
Oh my darlin', skip to my Lou,
Oh my darlin', skip to my Lou,
Skip to my Lou, my darlin'.

Oh my darlin', skip to my Lou,
Oh my darlin', skip to my Lou,
Oh my darlin', skip to my Lou,
Skip to my Lou, my darlin.
