Letra Mister Frog Went A-Courting de Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds original
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.
