"Skip to My (The) Lou" is a popular American partner-stealing dance from the 1840s. Poet and Abraham Lincoln biographer Carl Sandburg writes that "Skip-to-my-Lou" was a popular party game in US President Abraham Lincoln's youth in southern Indiana, with verses such as "Hurry up slow poke, do oh do", "I'll get her back in spite of you", "Gone again, what shall I do", and "I'll get another girl sweeter than you". S. Frederick Starr suggests that the song may be derived from the Creole folksong "Lolotte Pov'piti Lolotte", to which it has a strong resemblance.

- Skip to My Lou est une chanson populaire pour enfants aux États-Unis. La chanson est populaire à partir des années 1840. Elle est connue d'Abraham Lincoln dans sa jeunesse, qu'il a passé dans le sud de l'Indiana et dans le Kentucky (1826) avec des passages tels que "Hurry up slow poke, do oh do", "I'll get her back in spite of you", "Gone again, what shall I do", et "I'll get another girl sweeter than you" . Certains puritains américains considéraient alors le violon comme un outil du Diable (car il conduit à la danse, qui était considéré comme péché). Face à une tel obstacle religieux, les enfants et jeunes gens ont développé le “play-party”, dans lequel certaines parties ont été supprimées ou masquées. Le play-party est devenu un passe-temps populaire pour les adolescents et les jeunes couples mariés. Quand les gens se sont déplacés vers l'ouest, la danse carrée et la barn dance sont devenues plus acceptables, au moins pour certains. (fr)
- "Skip to My (The) Lou" is a popular American partner-stealing dance from the 1840s. Poet and Abraham Lincoln biographer Carl Sandburg writes that "Skip-to-my-Lou" was a popular party game in US President Abraham Lincoln's youth in southern Indiana, with verses such as "Hurry up slow poke, do oh do", "I'll get her back in spite of you", "Gone again, what shall I do", and "I'll get another girl sweeter than you". John A. and Alan Lomax wrote that "Skip to My Lou" was a simple game of stealing partners (or swapping partners as in square dancing). It begins with any number of couples skipping hand in hand around in a ring. A lone boy in the center of the moving circle of couples sings, "Lost my partner, what'll I do?" as the girls whirl past him. The young man in the center hesitates while he decides which girl to choose, singing, "I'll get another one just like you." When he grasps the hand of his chosen one, the latter's partner moves to the center of the ring. It is an ice-breaker, providing an opportunity for the participants to get acquainted with one another and to get into a good mood. "Skip to My Lou" is no. 3593 in the Roud Folk Song Index. S. Frederick Starr suggests that the song may be derived from the Creole folksong "Lolotte Pov'piti Lolotte", to which it has a strong resemblance. The "lou" in the title comes from the word "loo", a Scottish word for "love". (en)
