Lyrics Skip to My Lou - Strawbs

Skip to My Lou

Did you hear me, my little one
Calling you by the way of the moon
Serenading you
To my saddest tune
Will you know me, my little one
Rushing by at the speed of sand
Serenading you
With flower in hand
Skip to my Lou, my darling
Skip to my Lou, my darling young one
Skip to my Lou, my darling
All night, all night long
Did you see me my little one
Walking along by the railway track
Serenading you
Without looking back
Will you kiss me my little one
Leading you to the hangman’s knot
Serenading you
With forget-me-not
Did you fear me my little one
As the last train passed us by
Serenading you
With a tear in my eye
Will you haunt me my little one
Ill at ease with Cupid’s dart
Serenading you
With a broken heart
