Doc Watson - Froggie Went A-Courtin lyrics

A frog went a-courtin' and he did ride A frog went a-courtin' and he did ride Sword and pistol by his side He rode up to Miss Mousie's door He rode up to Miss Mousie's door Where he'd often been before He said, "Miss Mouse, are you within?" He said, "Miss Mouse, are you within?" "Yes, kind sir, I sit and spin" He took Miss Mouse upon his knee He took Miss Mouse upon his knee Said "Miss Mouse, will you marry me?" "Without my Uncle Rat's consent Without my Uncle Rat's consent I wouldn't marry the President" Uncle Rat, he laughed and shook his fat sides Uncle Rat, he laughed and shook his fat sides To think his niece would be a bride Then Uncle Rat rode off to town Then Uncle Rat rode off to town To buy his niece a wedding gown "Oh, where will the wedding supper be?" "Oh where will the wedding supper be?" "Way down yonder in the hollow tree" The first to come was the little white moth The first to come was the little white moth She spread out the tablecloth The next to come was the bumblebee The next to come was the bumblebee Played the fiddle upon his knee The next to come was a little flea The next to come was a little flea Danced a jig with the bumblebee The next to come was Missus Cow The next to come was Missus Cow Tried to dance but didn't know how Now Mister Frog was dressed in green Now Mister Frog was dressed in green Sweet Miss Mouse looked like a queen In slowly walked the Parson Rook In slowly walked the Parson Rook Under his arm he carried a book They all gathered round the lucky pair They all gathered round the lucky pair Singing, dancing everywhere Then Frog and Mouse went off to France Then Frog and Mouse went off to France That's the end of my romance
