Original text | |
A frog he would a-wooing go, Heigh ho! says Rowley, A frog he would a-wooing go, Whether his mother would let him or no. With a roly poly, gammon, and spinach, Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley. So off he set with his opera hat, Heigh ho! says Rowley, So off he set with his opera hat, And on the road he met with a rat, With a roly poly, gammon, and spinach, Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley. They came to the door of Mousey's hall, Heigh ho! says Rowley, They gave a loud knock, and they gave a loud call. With a roly poly, gammon, and spinach, Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley. Pray, Mrs. Mouse are you within? Heigh ho! says Rowley, Oh yes, kind sirs, I'm sitting to spin. With a roly poly, gammon, and spinach, Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley. Pray, Mrs. Mouse will you give us some beer? Heigh ho! says Rowley, For Froggy and I are fond of good cheer. With a roly poly, gammon, and spinach, Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley. But while they were all a-merry-making Heigh ho! says Rowley, A cat and her kittens came tumbling in. With a roly poly, gammon, and spinach, Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley. The cat she seized the rat by the crown, Heigh ho! says Rowley, The kittens they pulled the little mouse down. With a roly poly, gammon, and spinach, Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley. This put Mr. Frog in a terrible fright, Heigh ho! says Rowley. He took up his hat and he wished them goodnight. With a roly poly, gammon, and spinach, Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley. But as Froggy was crossing over a brook, Heigh ho! says Rowley. A lily white duck came and gobbled him up. With a roly poly, gammon, and spinach, Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley. So there was the end of one, two, three, Heigh ho! says Rowley. The rat, the mouse, and the little froggy. With a roly poly, gammon, and spinach, Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley. | |
