As performed by Cisco Houston
Traditional
Appears on:
Well the frog went a-courting he did ride.
Uh-hmm, Uh-hmm
Frog went a-courting and he did ride,
A sword and pistol by his side.
Uh-hmm, Uh-hmm, Uh-hmm.
He rode till he came to Missy Mousie's door.
Uh-hmm, Uh-hmm
He rode till he came to Missy Mousie's door,
And he gave three raps and a very loud roar,
Uh-hmm, Uh-hmm, Uh-hmm.
And He said, "Miss Mouse, will you marry me?"
Uh-hmm, Uh-hmm
He said, "Miss Mouse, will you marry me?"
She said "I'll have to wait and see"
Uh-hmm, Uh-hmm, Uh-hmm.
She said "I really couldn't do that."
Uh-hmm, Uh-hmm
She said "I really couldn't do that,
Until I ask my Uncle Rat."
Uh-hmm, Uh-hmm, Uh-hmm.
Well where would the wedding supper be?
Uh-hmm, Uh-hmm
Where would the wedding supper be?
Way down yonder in a holler tree.
Uh-hmm, Uh-hmm, Uh-hmm.
Well the first to come was a bumblebee
Uh-hmm, Uh-hmm
The first to come was a bumblebee,
With a big bass-fiddle on his knee.
Uh-hmm, Uh-hmm, Uh-hmm.
Well there's lots more verses to this song
Uh-hmm, Uh-hmm
Thgere's lots more verses to this song,
I won't sing 'em, it would take too long
Uh-hmm, Uh-hmm, Uh-hmm.
