A frog he would a-wooing go

A frog he would a-wooing go,

Heigh-ho! Says Rowley,

A frog he would a-wooing go,

Whether his mother would let him or no.

With a Rowley, powley, gammon and spinach,

Heigh-ho! Says Anthony Rowley.

So off he went with his opera hat,

Heigh-ho! Says Rowley,

So off he set with his opera hat,

And on the road he met with a rat.

With a Rowley, powley, gammon and spinach,

Heigh-ho! Says Anthony Rowley.

They came to the door of Mousey's hall,

Heigh-ho! Says Rowley,

They came to the door of Mousey's hall,

They gave a loud knock and they gave a loud call.

With a Rowley, powley, gammon and spinach,

Heigh-ho! Says Anthony Rowley.

Pray, Mistress Mouse, are you within?

Heigh-ho! Says Rowley,

Pray, Mistress Mouse, are you within?

Oh yes, kind sirs, I'm sitting to spin.

With a Rowley, powley, gammon and spinach,

Heigh-ho! Says Anthony Rowley.

But while they were all a-merrymaking,

Heigh-ho! Says Rowley,

But while they were all a-merrymaking,

A cat and her kittens came tumbling in.

With a Rowley, powley, gammon and spinach,

Heigh-ho! Says Anthony Rowley.

The cat she seized the mouse by the crown,

Heigh-ho! Says Rowley,

The cat she seized the mouse by the crown,

The kittens they pulled the little mouse down.

With a Rowley, powley, gammon and spinach,

Heigh-ho! Says Anthony Rowley.

This put Mister Frog in a terrible fright,

Heigh-ho! Says Rowley,

This put Mister Frog in a terrible fright,

He took up his hat and he wished them goodnight.

With a Rowley, powley, gammon and spinach,

Heigh-ho! Says Anthony Rowley.
