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

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
