Lyrics for Song: Froggie Went A-Courtin'
Lyrics for Album: We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions [2006]
Mr. Frog went a courting 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, a-huh, uh-huh
He took Miss Mouse upon 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 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
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 you want any more, you can sing it yourself
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
