lyrics

Froggie Went A Courtin’ (traditional)

Froggie went a courtin’ and he did ride

Sword and pistol by his side

He rode up to miss Mousey’s door

Where he’d often been before

He said “Miss Mouse are you with-in”

“Just lift the latch and please come in.”

He took miss mousey on his knee Said,

Miss mouse, will you marry me.

Without my uncle rat’s consent

I would not marry the president

Now, uncle rat when he came home

Said, who’s been here since I’d been gone?

A very fine gentleman’s been here

Who wishes me to be his dear.

And uncle rat laughed and shook his side

To think his niece would be a bride

So uncle Rat he went to town

To buy his niece a wedding gown

Where shall the wedding breakfast be?

Way down yonder in the hollow tree

And what will the wedding breakfast be

Two green beans and a black-eye pea

The first to come was a bumblebee

He danced a jig with mill Mousey

The next to come was mister Drake

He ate up all the wedding cake

They all went sailing on the lake

And they all got swallowed by a big black snake

That’s the end of one, two, three

The rat, the frog and miss mousey

There’s bread and cheese upon the shelf

If you want any more just sing it yourself
