Fermanagh, recorded by Sean Corcoran. There was a frog lived in a well Fall aye linkum laddie And a mouse that kept him ill Tidy Ann Tidy Ann Ditherum di dum dandy One day says the frog I'm going to court With my shoes as black as soot The horse he rode was a big black snail Saddle and bridle in under his tail Frog rode up to the mouse's hole Rapped the door stout and bold Arrah missy mouse are you in Yes I am, I sit and spin Arrah missy mouse will you wed Will you come into my bed Now Uncle Rat is not at home Without his leave I'll marry none Uncle Rat he then came down In his silk and muslin gown Bring in the table til we dine Change a farthing and bring in wine Just as the talk was getting slack In walked a kittling and a cat Cat seized uncle by the crown Kittling knocked wee mousie down Horsey snail rode up the wall Said the devil is among you all Frog he then rode round the room Just like any sporting groom In came a flock of neighbour's ducks Soon devoured the bachelors up Now this whole family went to rack Between the kittlings, ducks and cat From the Album "Idir An Da Sholas" by Maighread and Triona Ni Dhomhnaill with Donal Lunny (gael Linn/Hummingbird Records, 1999) Cheers, Michael |
