A new tune to learn

I posted Lew Dite's version of Froggie Went a Courtin' yesterday.

Here is some music for baritone voice. (The actual singing will be two octaves below where it is written).

This song has many, many verses and variations. For some more, click on "read more" below.


He rode up to Miss Mousie's door.
Uh-huh, Uh-huh.
He rode up to Miss Mousie's door,
Where he had often been before.
Uh-huh, uh-huh.



He said, Miss Mouse, "Are you within?"
Uh-huh, Uh-huh.
He said, Miss Mouse, "Are you within?"
"JUst lift the latch and please walk in."
Uh-huh, uh-huh.


He took Miss Mousie on his knee.
Uh-huh, Uh-huh.
He took Miss Mousie on his knee.
And said, "Miss Mouse, will you marry me?"
Uh-huh, uh-huh.


"Without my Uncle Rat's consent,"
Uh-huh, Uh-huh.
"Without my Uncle Rat's consent,
I would not marry the president."
Uh-huh, uh-huh.


When Uncle Rat gave his consent,
Uh-huh, Uh-huh.
When Uncle Rat gave his consent,
The weasel wrote the publishment.
Uh-huh, uh-huh.


So, Uncle Rat, he went to town,
Uh-huh, Uh-huh.
So, Uncle Rat, he went to town,
To buy his niece a wedding gown.

Uh-huh, uh-huh.


Where will the wedding breakfast be?
Uh-huh, Uh-huh.
Where will the wedding breakfast be?
Away down yonder in the hollow tree.

Uh-huh, uh-huh.


What will the wedding breakfast be?
Uh-huh, Uh-huh.
What will the wedding breakfast be?
Two green beans and a black-eyed pea.

Uh-huh, uh-huh.


The first to come was the bumblebee,
Uh-huh, Uh-huh.
The first to come was the bumblebee,
He danced a jig with Miss Mousie.

Uh-huh, uh-huh.


The next to come was Mister Drake,

Uh-huh, Uh-huh.
The next to come was Mister Drake,
He ate up all the wedding cake.

Uh-huh, uh-huh.


The owl did hoot, the birds they sang,

Uh-huh, Uh-huh.
The owl did hoot, the birds they sang,
And through the woods the music rang.

Uh-huh, uh-huh.


They all went sailing on the lake,

Uh-huh, Uh-huh.
They all went sailing on the lake,
And they got swallowed by a big black snake.

Uh-huh, uh-huh.


There's bread and cheese upon the shelf,

Uh-huh, Uh-huh.
There's bread and cheese upon the shelf,
If you want any more just sing it yourself.

Uh-huh, uh-huh.
