My wife wears a number ten shoe,
My wife wears a number ten shoe,
My wife wears a number ten shoe,
Skip to my Lou, my darling.

Chicken in the haystack, shoo, shoo, shoo,
Chicken in the haystack, shoo, shoo, shoo,
Chicken in the haystack, shoo, shoo, shoo,
Skip to my Lou, my darling.

Little red wagon painted blue,
Little red wagon painted blue,
Little red wagon painted blue,
Skip to my Lou, my darling.

I'll get another one prettier than you,
I'll get another one prettier than you,
I'll get another one prettier than you,
Skip to my Lou, my darling.

My wife skipped and I skipped, too,
My wife skipped and I skipped, too,
My wife skipped and I skipped, too,
Skip to my Lou, my darling.
