Mister Frog Went A-Courting Lyrics

Mister frog went a-courting and he did ride

Uh-hmm, Uh-hmm

Mister frog went a-courting and he did ride

A sword and pistol by his side

Uh-hmm, Uh-hmm.

He went down to Missy Mousie's door

Where he had often been before.

He said, "Missy Mouse, are you within?"

"Yes kind sir, I sit and spin."

He took Missy Mouse upon his knee

And said "Missy Mouse, will you marry me?"

"Without my Uncle Rat's consent"

"I wouldn't marry the pres-I-dent."

Uncle Rat laughed and shook his fat sides,

To think his niece would be a bride.Nick Cave - Mister Frog Went A-Courting - http://motolyrics.com/nick-cave/mister-frog-went-a-courting-lyrics.html

When Uncle Rat gave his consent

The weasel wrote the publishment.

Where will the wedding supper be?

Way down yonder in a holler tree.

What will the wedding supper be?

Two green beans and a black-eyed pea.

The first guest in was a bumblebee

He danced a jig with a crook-backed flea.

The owl did hoot, the birds they sang

And through the woods the music rang.

They all went sailing 'cross the lake

And got swallered up by a big black snake

There's bread and cheese upon the shelf

If you want any more you can sing it yourself.
