Mister frog went a-courting and he did ride

Uh-hmm, uh-hmm

Mister frog went a-courting and he did ride

A sword and pistol by his side

Uh-hmm, uh-hmm.





He went down to missy mousie's door

Where he had often been before.





He said, "missy mouse, are you within?"

"yes kind sir, i sit and spin."





He took missy mouse upon his knee

And said "missy mouse, will you marry me?"





"without my uncle rat's consent"

"i wouldn't marry the pres-i-dent."





Uncle rat laughed and shook his fat sides,

To think his niece would be a bride.





When uncle rat gave his consent

The weasel wrote the publishment.





Where will the wedding supper be?

Way down yonder in a holler tree.





What will the wedding supper be?

Two green beans and a black-eyed pea.





The first guest in was a bumblebee

He danced a jig with a crook-backed flea.





The owl did hoot, the birds they sang

And through the woods the music rang.





They all went sailing 'cross the lake

And got swallered up by a big black snake





There's bread and cheese upon the shelf

If you want any more you can sing it yourself.
