Subject: RE: folk song sung by luke on his mule in sgt york From: GUEST Date: 13 Apr 24 - 04:49 PM Frog Went A-Courtin’ Kentucky Folk Song 1. Frog went a courtin’ and he did ride. Rinktum body minchy cambo. Sword and buckler by his side. Rinktum body minchy cambo. REFRAIN: Kimaneero down to Cairo, Kimaneero Cairo. Shaddle-addle-adababa, ladababa linktum. Rinktum body minchee cambo. 2. He rode right to Miss Mousie’s door, Found Miss Mousie sweepin’ the floor. REFRAIN 3. He took Miss Mousie on his knee, And said “Miss Mousie will you marry me?” REFRAIN 4. Without my Uncle Rat’s consent, I could not marry the president. REFRAIN 5. Uncle Rat laughed and shook his sides, To think his niece would be a bride. REFRAIN 6. Who will make the wedding gown? Old Miss Rat from Pumpkin Town. REFRAIN 7. Where will the wedding supper be? Way down yonder in a hollow tree. REFRAIN 8. What will the wedding supper be? A fried mosquito and a black-eyed pea. REFRAIN 9. First to come was a bumblebee, He set his fiddle on his knee. REFRAIN 10. Next to come was a doodle bug, Carrying a water jug. REFRAIN 11. Next to come was a flying moth, She laid out the table cloth. REFRAIN 12. Next to come was an itty-bitty flea To dance a jig for the bumblebee. REFRAIN 13. Next to come was a big old cow, She wanted to dance but she didn’t know how. REFRAIN 14. Next to come was a big black snake; He ate up all the wedding cake. REFRAIN 15. Last to come was an old gray cat; She swallowed up the mouse and ate up the rat. REFRAIN 16. Mr. Frog went hopping over the brook; A duck came along and swallowed him up. REFRAIN 17. Now is the end of him and her; Guess there won’t be no tadpoles covered with fur! REFRAIN 18. Little piece of cornbread lying on the shelf, If you want any more you can sing it yourself. REFRAIN |
Subject: RE: folk song sung by luke on his mule in sgt york From: GUEST,guest Date: 07 Jun 17 - 08:05 PM The song was Froggy went a courtin. My mother used to sing it to me. She had a different version in that the chorus words were similar but not exactly the same. Hers, and I am spelling phonetically were. Froggy went a courtin he did ride, lidabo rinktum chinemo. Lidabo rinktum captain caro bonume she kinemo, zen nikibaum nikibaum lidabo rinktum lidabo rinktum chinemo. |

Subject: RE: folk song sung by luke on his mule in sgt york From: GUEST,BUGSY Date: 04 Jul 14 - 11:45 PM I met Luke once back in the early 50's, I was about 5 or 6 . It was in Ramsgate Kent. I don't know why he was there but he was just getting into his limo when I caught his eye. He shook hands with me and gave me sixpence. I'll never forget that moment. It was my first brush with fame. Cheers Bugsy |
Subject: RE: folk song sung by luke on his mule in sgt york From: GUEST,Arparch Date: 04 Jul 14 - 08:19 PM "Michi Cambo"(sp?) Pretty sure it was a common folk song back in the day. Also pretty sure I butchered the spelling. |

Froggie not listed (doesn't mean it didn't appear; I suspect small snippets never make it to the soundtrack listing) Mick |
Subject: RE: folk song sung by luke on his mule in sgt york From: Lighter Date: 22 Sep 11 - 08:42 AM IIRC, it's "Froggie Went a-Courtin'." The one with the "keemo-kymo" type chorus. Alvin mutters "Sourwood Mountain" ("I got a gal...") a couple of times. |
