This is the version I was taught from my mom and all of our family used to sing it when we would go up to Indiana.

Froggy went a courtin and he did ride
Inktum bodamitcha cambo
A derringer dagger by his side
Inktum bodamitcha cambo
Hida hero down to cairo, Hida hero to cairo
Stradda-ladda-ladda-bobba-ladda-bobba-Inktum
Inktum-bodamitcha cambo

Where will the wedding supper be
Inktum bodamitcha cambo
Way down yonder in a holler tree
Inktum bodamitcha cambo
Hida hero down to cairo, Hida hero to cairo
Stradda-ladda-ladda-bobba-ladda-bobba-Inktum
Inktum-bodamitcha cambo
