Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - 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. 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.
