After perusing a lead sheet of this song, you readers of Whole Octave® News were promised a sing and play version of Skip to My Lou, so here it is. You sing the top staff, and play the bottom two staves. This arrangement is quite fun and feasible for an early intermediate level student - enjoy!
My students and I have had a lot of fun with these types of arrangements! The melody is sung, so you don't have to play it. Notice how the LH plays roots, and the RH plays triads in a rhythm pattern. These bottom two accompaniment staves look a lot more complicated than they really are to play. I think it's a lot easier to read, just as a lead sheet. What do you think?
