Song title: Froggie went a courtin'
Froggie went a courtin'
Mr. Frog 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
Sword and pistol by his side
uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh
He went down to Miss Mousie’s door, uh-huh
He went down to Miss Mousie’s door, uh-huh
He went down to Miss Mousie’s door
Where he had often been before
uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh
He took Miss Mousie on his knee uh-huh
Said “Miss Mouse will you marry me”uh-huh
Without my Uncle Rat's consent
I wouldn't marry the President
Uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh
Well Uncle Rat he gave his consent uh-huh
Hey Uncle Rat he gave his consent uh-huh
Uncle Rat he gave his consent
And the weasel wrote the publishment
Uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh
Well now where will the wedding supper be uh-huh
Where will the wedding supper be uh-huh
Well where will the wedding supper be
Way down yonder in a hollow tree
uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh
Yeah the first come in was a flying moth uh-huh
first come in was a flying moth uh-huh
first come in was a flying moth
who laid out the tablecloth
uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh
Well the next come in was a junie bug uh-huh
the next come in was a junie bug uh-huh
next come in was a junie bug
she brought the whiskey in a water jug
uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh
Well the next come in was a big black snake uh-huh
next come in was a big black snake uh-huh
next come in was a big black snake
Chased them all into the lake
uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh
Little piece of cornbread laying on a shelf uh-huh
little piece of cornbread laying on a shelf uh-huh
little piece of cornbread laying on a shelf
If your want any more
you can bring it yourself
uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh
