Lyrics Woody Guthrie – Froggie Went A–Courtin’

Froggie went a-courtin’ and he did ride, hey hey
Froggie went a-courtin’ and he did ride, hey hey
Froggie went a-courtin’ and he did ride
Sword and a pistol by his side, hey hey hey hey

Rode till he come to Miss Mouse’s door, hey hey
Rode till he come to Miss Mouse’s door, hey hey
Rode till he come to Miss Mouse’s door
Gave three raps and a very loud roar, hey hey hey hey

Said, «Miss Mouse, are you within?» hey hey
Said, «Miss Mouse, are you within?» hey hey
Said, «Miss Mouse, are you within?»
«Yes, I just sat down to din'» hey hey hey hey

Well, he went right in and he took her on his knee, hey hey
He went right in and took her on his knee, hey hey
He went right in and took her on his knee
Said, «Miss Mouse, will you marry me?» hey hey hey hey

Miss Mouse said, «I can’t answer that,» hey hey
Miss Mouse, she said, «I can’t answer that,» hey hey
Miss Mouse said, «I can’t answer that…
…Till I see my brother, Rat,» hey hey hey hey

When the brother, Rat, gave his consent, hey hey
When the brother, Rat, gave his consent, hey hey
When the brother, Rat, gave his consent
The weasel wrote the publishment, hey hey hey hey

«Who will the wedding guests all be?» hey hey
«Who will the wedding guests all be?» hey hey
«Who will the wedding guests all be?»
A ladybug and a bumblebee, hey hey hey hey

(Woo-hoo!
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!)

Well, the first to come was a little ladybug, hey hey
The first to come was a little ladybug, hey hey
The first to come was a little ladybug
She had a great big whiskey jug, hey hey hey hey

Well, the next come was a bumble bee, hey hey
The next come was a bumble bee, hey hey
The next come was a bumble bee
Danced to the jig with a two-legged flea, hey hey hey hey

The first one to come was a little-bitty moth, hey hey
The first one to come was a little-bitty moth, hey hey
The first one to come was a little-bitty moth
First one to lay the tablecloth, hey hey hey hey

So, here they end in a 1-2-3, hey hey
Here they end in a 1-2-3, hey hey
Here they end in a 1-2-3
A snake, and a frog, and a Miss Mousey, hey hey hey hey
