Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Mister Frog Went A-courting Lyrics
Mister frog went a-courting and he did rideUh-hmm, uh-hmmMister frog went a-courting and he did rideA sword and pistol by his sideUh-hmm, uh-hmm.He went down to missy mousies doorWhere 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 kneeAnd said missy mouse, will you marry me?Without my uncle rats consentI wouldnt 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 consentThe 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 bumblebeeHe danced a jig with a crook-backed flea.The owl did hoot, the birds they sangAnd through the woods the music rang.They all went sailing cross the lakeAnd got swallered up by a big black snakeTheres bread and cheese upon the shelfIf you want any more you can sing it yourself.
