A FROG HE WOULD A-WOOING GO

 

A frog he would a-wooing go

Heigh ho! says Rowley

Whether his mother would let him or no

With a rowley, powley, gammon and spinach

Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley.

 

So off he set with his opera hat

Heigh ho! says Rowley

And on the way he met with a rat

With a rowley, powley, gammon and spinach

Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley.

 

Pray, Mister Rat, will you go with me?

Heigh ho! says Rowley

Kind Mistress Mousey for to see?

With a rowley, powley, 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 rowley, powley, gammon and spinach

Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley.

 

Pray, Mistress Mouse, will you

give us some beer?

Heigh ho! says Rowley

For Froggy and I are fond of good cheer

With a rowley, powley, 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 rowley, powley, 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 rowley, powley, gammon and spinach

Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley.

 

This put Mister Frog in a terrible fright

Heigh ho! says Rowley

He took up his hat and he wished

then goodnight

With a rowley, powley, gammon and spinach

Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley.

i lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed

it rolled down the garden and under a bush

and then my poor meatball got covered in slush

Here is a classic one for you. We use to sing this on the grimesthorpe w.m.c trips

 

One man went to mow,

went to mow a meadow,

one man and his dog spot bottle of pop,

went to mow a meadow,

 

two men went to mow,

went to mow a meadow,

two men and his dog spot bottle of pop,

went to mow a meadow,

 

ect, ect
