| lyric | 1. Frog went a-courtin' and he did ride, Umhum,
Fro went a-courtin’ and he did ride,
Sword and pistol by his side, Umhum.
2. He rode till he came to the mouse’s den, (2 x)
Says, ’Miss Mouse, are you with’in?’
3. He took Miss Mousie on his knee, (2 x)
And says, ’Miss Mouse, will you marry me?’
4. Without my Uncle Rat’s consent, (2 x)
I wouldn’t marry the Pres-ident.’
5. Uncle Rat laughed ’till he shook his sides (2 x)
To think his niece would be a bride.
6. What will the wedding supper be? (2 x)
Collard greens and a black-eyed pea.
7. The first that came was a little black bug. (2 x)
And he fell into the whisky jug.
8. The next that came was a garter-snake, (2x)
And coiled himself round the wedding cake.
9. The last to come was an old Tom Cat, (2 x)
Who ate Miss Mouse and Uncle Rat.
10. Mister Frog jumped into a lake, (2 x)
And there was swallowed by a big black snake.
11. The old hymn book lies on the shelf, (2 x)
If you want any more you can sing it yourself. |
