@Sandra_Feijoo It’s used in a partner-stealing dance where each man dances with a girl for a little while, then all the partners change places, so each man is now dancing with a different girl.
I learned that song when I was a child!
The “lou” is a form of the Scottish word for “love.” So it roughly means “dancing up to the girl I love.”

@Sandra_Feijoo It’s from an American folk dance song and I am not sure what it means but I will find out.
