Froggy Went A Courtin’ by Elizabeth Mitchell
Transcribed by DWdrummer67. Great kids tune! Enjoy!
D A D G D
Froggie went a courtin' and he did ride… with a sword and a pistol by his side
D A D G D
When he rode he came to Ms. mousie's door… where he'd often been before
D A D G D
Ms. mousie came a tripin' down… green glass slippers and a golden gown
D A D G D
He took Ms. mouse upon his knee… and said Ms. mouse will you marry me?
Chorus:
D A G D
Kimo cimo cimo kee, way down yonder in a hollow tree
D G D A D
Owl in the back and the bumblebee, king con kitchie kitchie caimeo
D A D G D
Without my uncle Rat’s consent… for I would not marry the president
D A D G D
Well, old rat laughed till he shook his sides… to think Ms. Mousie would be your bride
D A D G D
What will the wedding supper be?... two butter beans and a black eyed pea
D A D G D
What more would the wedding supper be?... butter cups and dew drop tea
Chorus:
D A G D
Kimo cimo cimo kee, way down yonder in a hollow tree
D G D A D
Owl in the back and the bumblebee, king con kitchie kitchie caimeo
D A D G D
First came in was a silver moth… spread her wings for a table cloth
D A D G D
Next came in was a bumblebee… set a little banjo on her knee
D A D G D
Next came in was the old gray goose… picked up his fiddle and he cut loose
D A D G D
Next came in were two little ants… they stood up to have a dance
Chorus:
D A G D
Kimo cimo cimo kee, way down yonder in a hollow tree
D G D A D
Owl in the back and the bumblebee, king con kitchie kitchie caimeo

Now they live far off in a hollow tree… where they have good health and children three

Kimo cimo cimo kee, way down yonder in a hollow tree

Owl in the back and the bumblebee, king con kitchie kitchie caimeo
