Froggy Went A-Courtin'

(album: American Folk Songbook - 2011)

Frog went a courting and he did ride, uh, huh
Frog went a courting and he did ride, uh, huh
Frog went a courting and he did ride
With a sword and a pistol by his side

Uh huh, uh huh, mmm hmm

He rode up to Miss Mousie's door, uh, huh
He rode up to Miss Mousie's door, uh, huh
He rode up to Miss Mousie's door
Gave three loud raps and a big, big roar

Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh

Took Miss Mousie on his knee, uh, huh
Took Miss Mousie on his knee, uh, huh
Took Miss Mousie on his knee
Said Miss Mousie, "Will you marry me"

Uh huh, uh huh, mmm hmm

Not without my Uncle Rat's consent, uh, huh
Not without my Uncle Rat's consent, uh, huh
Not without my Uncle Rat's consent
I wouldn't marry the President

Uh huh, uh huh, no, sir

Kee-mee kah-mo in the land of Fee-ro Fair-o
Kama-rat-tin penny-wiggle tommy-doodle rattle-bugger
Rap-trap penny wontcha kindly-o
Kim-bo ky-bo hair-o jair-o

Uncle Rat went running downtown, uh, huh
Uncle Rat went running downtown, uh, huh
Uncle Rat went running downtown
To buy his niece a wedding gown

Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh

Where shall the wedding supper be, uh, huh?
Where shall the wedding supper be, uh, huh?
Where shall the wedding supper be?
Way down yonder in the hollow tree

Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh

What should the wedding supper be, uh, huh?
What should the wedding supper be, uh, huh?
What should the wedding supper be?
Fried mosquito and a black-eyed pea

Uh huh, uh huh, yum yum

Little piece of corn bread laying on the shelf, uh, huh
Little piece of corn bread laying on the shelf, uh, huh
Little piece of corn bread laying on the shelf
If you want anymore you gotta sing it yourself

Uh, huh, uh, huh, yes sir

Kee-mee kah-mo in the land of Fee-ro Fair-o
Kama-rat-tin penny-wiggle tommy-doodle rattle-bugger
Rap-trap penny wontcha kindly-o
Kim-bo ky-bo hair-o jair-o
Hey, come a-rin-tin folly-winkle lolly-bugger
Rap-trap penny wontcha kindly-o
