Skip a Rope

"Skip a Rope" is a song written by Jack Moran and Glenn Douglas Tubb and recorded by American country music artist Henson Cargill, released in November 1967 as the first single and title track from the album Skip a Rope. The song was Cargill's debut release on the country chart and his most successful single. "Skip a Rope" was Cargill's sole No. 1 on the country chart, spending five weeks at the top and a total of 16 weeks on the chart.^[1] "Skip a Rope" crossed over to the Top 40, peaking at No. 25.^[2]

Content

The song asked listeners to pay attention to what children would say as they played. It touched on, among other things, verbal spousal abuse, tax evasion and racism, and at the end, laid blame for what the children said directly at the feet of their parents.^[3] Cargill's original recording featured background vocals by The Jordanaires.

Cover versions

The song was covered by Joe Tex on his 1968 album Soul Country, by The Kentucky Headhunters on their 1989 debut album Pickin' on Nashville, by George Jones on his final album Hits I Missed... And One I Didn't,^[4] and by Charley Crockett on his 2021 album, Music City USA.
