voice ; Collected by M.C. Parler Sung by R.E.L. Flowers Quitman, Ark. Sept. 5, 1953 Reel Item 3 Mr. Frog Went Courting, He Did Ride Mr. Frog went courting, he did ride, Turn a rock stop bottom, Mr, Kimbo With sword and a pistol by his side, Turn a rock stop bottom Mr. Kimbo. Kamo ki-o kill that fly-o, fly-o, fly-o Turn a rock stop pennywinkle, flamma-doodle, yaller bug-a Rock stop bottom, Mr. Kimbo. (The full refrain is sung mercilessly with each succeeding stanza.) He rode down to Miss Mousie's den; Says he, "Miss Mouse, are you within?" He took Miss Mouse upon his knee; Says he, "Miss Mouse, will you marry me?" "Not without my father's consent, I would not marry the president." Mr. Rat he laughed and shook his fat sides, To think his daughter would be a bride. Where shall the wedding supper be? Way down yonder in an ol' holler tree. First came in was a Mr. Bee With his fiddle upon his knee. The next came in was a Mr. Bug, Passing around the whiskey jug. Next came in was a Mr. Snake, Passing around the wedding cake. The next came in was a Mr. Tick, He ate so much that it made him sick. And then they sent for Dr. Fly; Says he, "By Jove, Mr. Tick, you'll die." This is the end of the wedding day; And now we have no more to say. ; Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation.
