[Verse 1]
D Frog went a-courting, he did ride Am Sword and pistol by his side D Went down to Miss Mousie's door Am Where he'd often been before Am Says Miss Mouse, are you within? Am Yes, sugar bush, I carve and spin
[Chorus]
D Frog went a-courting, he did ride Am D Am D Am Hi diddle diddle diddle day
[Verse 2]
D He took that Mousie on his knee Am He says, little sugar, won't you marry me? D No, sir, now, can't do that Am Without the say-so of Uncle Rat Am Old gray rat, he soon come home Am Says, who's been here since I been gone?
[Chorus]
D Frog went a-courting, he did ride Am D Am D Am Hi diddle diddle diddle day
[Verse 3]
D A fine young gentleman visited me Am One who'd asked for to marry me D Rat just laughed, split his side Am To think of Miss Mousie being a bride Am Next day that rat went up to town Am To buy Miss Mousie's wedding gown
[Chorus]
D Frog went a-courting, he did ride Am D Am D Am Hi diddle diddle diddle day
[Verse 4]
D What's the best thing for a wedding gown? Am Acorn hull all gray and brown D What's the best place for the dinner to be? Am Down in the swamp in a hollow tree Am Tell me what's that dinner to be Am Skeeter steak and a black eyed pea
[Chorus]
D Frog went a-courting, he did ride Am D Am D Am Hi diddle diddle diddle day
[Verse 5]
D First there came up Mister Snake Am Ate up all the wedding cake D Then came ole Rufus Grouse Am Danced a break down round the house Am Then in came ole Angus slick Am He ate so much he milked himself sick
[Chorus]
D Frog went a-courting, he did ride Am D Am D Am Hi diddle diddle diddle day
[Verse 6]
D Then came in ole Mr. Cat Am All the children cried out, scat! D Frog was in a terrible fright Am He up and says to them, goodnight Am What, you say, Miss Mousie got? Am Well, she got swallowed on the spot
[Chorus]
D Frog went a-courting, he did ride Am D Am D Am Hi diddle diddle diddle day
