Thread Name: Lyr Req: Froggie Went a-Courtin + Crawdad Song
Subject: RE: Song Lyrics
I don't see the version of the Froggie song I know in the database. Would some kind soul with a copy of Mother Goose post the lyrics? The tune is also different from most American versions, or at least the tune my mother sang was different. And Mom didn't sing about horny toads either.:)

It begins: A frog he would a-wooing go
Hi ho! Says Raleigh
Whether his mother would let him or no
With a rolly polly gammon and spinach
Hi ho! says Anthony Raleigh.
