Letra de 'Froggie Went A Courting' de Edwina Hayes

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

Well he rode right up to miss mousey's door, uh-huh
He rode right up to miss mousey's door, uh-huh
He rode right up to miss mousey's door
Gave three loud raps and a very big roar, uh-huh

Said, "miss mouse, are you within?" uh-huh
Said, "miss mouse, are you within?" uh-huh
Said, "miss mouse, are you within?"
"Yes, kind sir, I sit and spin," uh-huh

He took miss mousey on his knee, uh-huh
Took miss mousey on his knee, uh-huh
Took miss mousey on his knee
Said, "miss mousey, will you marry me?" uh-huh

"Without my uncle rat's consent, uh-huh
Without my uncle rat's consent, uh-huh
Without my uncle rat's consent
I wouldn't marry the president, uh-huh"

Uncle rat laughed and he shook his fat sides, uh-huh
Uncle rat laughed and he shook his fat sides, uh-huh
Uncle rat laughed and he shook his fat sides
To think his niece would be a bride, uh-huh

Uncle rat went runnin' downtown, uh-huh
Uncle rat went runnin' downtown, uh-huh
Uncle rat went runnin' downtown
To buy his niece a wedding gown, 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 a hollow tree, 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 in a black-eyed pea, uh-huh
Well, first to come in was a flyin' moth, uh-huh
First to come in was a flyin' moth, uh-huh
First to come in was a flyin' moth
She laid out the table cloth, uh-huh

Next to come in was a juney bug, uh-huh
Next to come in was a juney bug, uh-huh
Next to come in was a juney bug
She brought the water jug, uh-huh

Next to come in was a bumbley bee, uh-huh
Next to come in was a bumbley bee, uh-huh
Next to come in was a bumbley bee
Sat mosquito on his knee, uh-huh

Next to come in was a broken black flea, uh-huh
Next to come in was a broken black flea, uh-huh
Next to come in was a broken black flea
Danced a jig with the bumbley bee, uh-huh

Next to come in was mrs. Cow, uh-huh
Next to come in was mrs. Cow, uh-huh
Next to come in was mrs. Cow
She tried to dance but she didn't know how, uh-huh

Next to come in was a little black tick, uh-huh
Next to come in was a little black tick, uh-huh
Next to come in was a little black tick
She ate so much she made us sick, uh-huh

A little piece of cornbread layin' on a shelf, uh-huh
A little piece of cornbread layin' on a shelf, uh-huh
A little piece of cornbread layin' on a shelf
If you want any more, you can sing it yourself, uh-huh
