Froggie Went A-Courtin’

Lyrics

Froggie went a-courtin' and he did ride, Uh-huh Froggie went a-courtin' and he did ride, Uh-huh Froggie went a-courtin' and he did ride A sword and a pistol by his side, Uh-huh He rode right up to Miss Mousie's door, Uh-huh: "Let me in!" He rode right up to Miss Mousie's door, Uh-huh He rode right up to Miss Mousie's door And he hit it so hard that he made it roar, Uh-huh Then Miss Mouse then let him in, Uh-huh: "Come in Mr. Froggie" Then Miss Mouse then let him in, Uh-huh Then Miss Mouse then let him in And away they courted, it was a sin, Uh-huh He took Miss Mousie right on his knee, Uh-huh Took Miss Mousie right on his knee, Uh-huh Took Miss Mousie right on his knee And he says, Miss Mousie, will you marry me?" Uh-huh Miss Mousie says, "I don't know about that," Uh-huh Miss Mousie says, "I don't know about that," Uh-huh Miss Mousie says, "I don't know about that "But I b'lieve to my soul, you'll have to ask uncle Rat" The old Rat laughed as he give away the bride, Uh-huh: Huhuh The old Rat laughed as he give away the bride, Uh-huh The old Rat laughed as he give away the bride He laughed and he laughed and he shook his fat sides: Huhuh Where will the wedding supper be? Uh-huh Where will the wedding supper be? Uh-huh Where will the wedding supper be? "A-way down yonder in the hollow tree Uh-huh What did he get for the wedding gown? Uh-huh What did he get for the wedding gown? Uh-huh What did he get for the wedding gown? A piece of hide of an old white hound What will the wedding supper be? Uh-huh What will the wedding supper be? Uh-huh What will the wedding supper be? Uh-huh Two butter-beans and a black-eyed pea, Uh-huh The first come in was a big June-bug, Uh-huh The first come in was a big June-bug, Uh-huh The first to come in was a big June-bug A-dancin' around with a half a find jug The second one in was bumblebee, Uh-huh The second come in was bumblebee, Uh-huh The second come in was bumblebee A-dancin' 'round with a fiddle on his knee, Uh-huh The third man in was a little grey mouse, Uh-huh The third man in was a little grey mouse, Uh-huh: That's the bride's brother The third come in was a little grey mouse And he says, "Mr. Froggie, could I rent you a house?" Froggie went a-travalin' across the lake, Uh-huh Froggie went a-travalin' across the lake, Uh-huh Froggie went a-travalin' across the lake And he got swallowed up, by a big black snake, Uh-huh
