Dylan, Bob - Froggie Went A Courtin' Lyrics






Frog went a-courtin' and he did ride, uh-huh
Frog went a-courtin' and he did ride, uh-huh
Frog went a-courtin' and he did ride
With a sword and a pistol by his side, uh-huh.

Well he rode right up to Miss Mousey's door, uh-huh
He rode right up to Miss Mousey's door, uh-huh
He rode right up to Miss Mousey's door
Gave three loud raps and a very big roar, uh-huh.

Said, "Miss Mouse, are you within ?" uh-huh
Said he, "Miss Mouse, are you within ?" uh-huh
Said, "Miss Mouse, are you within ?"
"Yes, kind sir, I sit and spin," uh-huh.

He took Miss Mousey on his knee, uh-huh
Took Miss Mousey on his knee, uh-huh
Took Miss Mousey on his knee
Said, "Miss Mousey, will you marry me ?" uh-huh.

"Without my uncle Rat's consent, uh-huh
Without my uncle Rat's consent, uh-huh
Without my uncle Rat's consent
I wouldn't marry the president, uh-huh".

Uncle Rat laughed and he shook his fat sides, uh-huh
Uncle Rat laughed and he shook his fat sides, uh-huh
Uncle Rat laughed and he shook his fat sides
To think his niece would be a bride, uh-huh.

Uncle rat went runnin' downtown, uh-huh
Uncle rat went runnin' downtown, uh-huh
Uncle rat went runnin' downtown
To buy his niece a wedding gown, uh-huh.

Where shall the wedding supper be ? uh-huh
Where shall the wedding supper be ? uh-huh
Where shall the wedding supper be ?
Way down yonder in a hollow tree, uh-huh.

What should the wedding supper be ? uh-huh
What should the wedding supper be ? uh-huh
What should the wedding supper be ?
Fried mosquito in a black-eyed pea, uh-huh.
Well, first to come in was a flyin' moth, uh-huh.
First to come in was a flyin' moth, uh-huh.
First to come in was a flyin' moth
She laid out the table cloth, uh-huh.

Next to come in was a juney bug, uh-huh
Next to come in was a juney bug, uh-huh
Next to come in was a juney bug
She brought the water jug, uh-huh.

Next to come in was a bumbley bee, uh-huh
Next to come in was a bumbley bee, uh-huh
Next to come in was a bumbley bee
Sat mosquito on his knee, uh-huh.

Next to come in was a broken black flea, uh-huh
Next to come in was a broken black flea, uh-huh
Next to come in was a broken black flea
Danced a jig with the bumbley bee, uh-huh.

Next to come in was Mrs. Cow, uh-huh
Next to come in was Mrs. Cow, uh-huh
Next to come in was Mrs. Cow
She tried to dance but she didn't know how, uh-huh.

Next to come in was a little black tick, uh-huh
Next to come in was a little black tick, uh-huh
Next to come in was a little black tick
She ate so much she made us sick, uh-huh.

Next to come in was a big black snake, uh-huh
Next to come in was a big black snake, uh-huh
Next to come in was a big black snake
Ate up all of the wedding cake, uh-huh.

Next to come in was the old gray cat, uh-huh
Next to come in was the old gray cat, uh-huh
Next to come in was the old gray cat
Swallowed the mouse and ate up the rat, uh-huh.Mr.
Frog went a-hoppin' up over the brook, uh-huh
Mr. Frog went a-hoppin' up over the brook, uh-huh
Mr. Frog went a-hoppin' up over the brook
A lily-whit duck come and swallowed him up, uh-huh.

A little piece of cornbread layin' on a shelf, uh-huh
A little piece of cornbread layin' on a shelf, uh-huh
A little piece of cornbread layin' on a shelf
If you want any more, you can sing it yourself, uh-huh.

Dylan, Bob Froggie Went A Courtin' Comments
  1. J.... M....

    Dang I love this song

  2. N.... R....

    He’s got such a weird voice, but damn if he isn’t one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

  3. M.... M....

    Love this!

  4. T.... ....

    Good, but Burl Ives was better

  5. g.... ....

    'Good as I Been to You' - one of Dylan's most purely pleasurable albums. I played it over and over when it came out, and still love it. He caresses the cracks in his ravaged voice and plays unexpectedly detailed, precise guitar. With that said, I had forgotten this song was on that album (thought maybe I heard it on a forgotten multi-artist soundtrack or tribute CD). Thanks for reminding me!

  6. c.... ....

    When they were writing this song they got stuck and couldnt think how to end it.... so they called in Nick Cave to write the last few verses.

  7. C.... A....

    have a listen to this song by mike oldfield, with Richard Branson's sister as the female voice...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEwQqL4OyLQ

  8. h.... b....

    кто сюда с пикабу?

    h.... b....

    Я 😃

  9. P.... C....

    Quite different from Tex Ritter and his line about Miss Mouse: She said, "Get away - you been here before..." LOL! Same kiddie tune, "I Got a Girl in Every Port." Also check out Andy Griffith's "The Crawdad Hole." He's got the "honey, oh baby mine" lines.

  10. c.... v....

    Lovely Song. Thanks for sharing.

  11. E.... R....

    Was waiting for a string to break

  12. S.... F....

    British traditional song from 1548

    N.... V....

    Groggy went a courtin' ... crambone

    M.... ....

    The album is titled "Good As I've Been To You." Great album by Dylan!

    M.... ....

    MrCrispian it's a Wood Guthrie's song, I think

    M.... ....

    British traditional song from 1548.

  20. R.... ....

    Love this. A vague memory from childhood realised to full clarity. A hugely fun song.

  21. b.... 6....

    Woody Guthrie sang it aswell.

  22. D.... W....

    D.... W....

    D.... W....

    Nobody sings like Bob Dylan. Why would they want to? Haha!
    This is Zimmie, aw'right!

    D.... W....

    This is definitely Bob Dylan. One of the few covers he ever did. He does it best.

    D.... W....

    your not Bob Dylan :P

  23. n.... a....

    I love Bob Dylan's work! He can sure cover the classics even though he is known as one heck of a song writer.
