FROGGIE WENT A COURTIN'

Mr. Frog went a courting
and he did ride, uh-huh
Mr. Froggy went a -courtin' and he did ride, uh-huh
Froggy went to court and he did ride
A sword and pistol by his side, uh- huh

He went down under 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 up on his knee, uh-huh
Said "Miss Mousie, would 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
Now Uncle Rat he gave his consent
And the weasel wrote the publish man
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 the first come in with a flying mouth, uh-huh
The first come in with a flying mouth, uh-huh
The first come in with a flying mouth
And he lay down at the tablecloth
Uh huh, uh-huh, uh-huh

Well the next to come in was a junior bug, uh-huh
The next to come in was a junior bug, uh-huh
The next to come in was a junior bug
She found the whiskey in the water jug
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh

The next to come in was a big black snake, uh-huh
The next to come in was a big black snake, uh-huh
The next to come in was a big black snake
He chased them all into the lake, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh

A little piece of corn bread laying on the shelf, uh-huh
A little piece of corn bread laying on the shelf, uh-huh
Chased them all into the lade
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 in a shelf
If you wand any more
you can sing it yourself
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
