Ye Frog's Wooing

1.
It was the frog lived in the well,
Heigh-ho! says Rowley;
And the merry mouse under the mill,
With a Rowley, Powley, Gammon, and Spinach,
Heigh-ho! says Anthony Rowley.
2.
The frog he would a-wooing ride, Heigh-ho, &c.
Sword and buckler at his side, With a, &c.
3.
When upon his high horse set, Heigh-ho, &c.
His boots they shone as black as jet, With a, &c.
4.
When he came to the merry mill-pin, Heigh-ho, &c.
"Lady Mouse, are you within?" With a, &c.
5.
Then came out the dusty mouse, Heigh-ho, &c.
"I am the lady of this house," With a, &c.
6.
"Hast thou any mind of me?" Heigh-ho, &c.
"I have e'en great mind of thee," With a, &c.

"Who shall this marriage make?" Heigh-ho, &c.
"Our lord, which is the rat," With a, &c.
8.
"What shall we have to our supper?" Heigh-ho, &c.
"Three beans in a pound of butter," With a, &c.
9.
But when the supper they were at, Heigh-ho, &c.
The frog, the mouse, and e'en the rat, With a, &c.
10.
Then came in Tib, our cat, Heigh-ho, &c.
And caught the mouse e'en by the back, With a, &c.
11.
Then did they separate, Heigh-ho, &c.
The frog leaped on the floor so flat, With a, &c.

Then came in Dick, our drake, Heigh-ho, &c.
And drew the frog e'en to the lake, With a, &c.

The rat he ran up the wall, Heigh-ho, &c.
And so the company parted all, With a, &c.
