Frog in the Well

Irish Harp and Voice: Barbary

1. There was a frog lived in the well
"Hi ho" says Roly
There was a frog lived in the well
And a merry mouse in the dell
With a roly poly cabbage and spinach
And pie for Anthony Roly

2. Said the frog �I must go court�
With me bayonet and me sword

3. �Mistress Mouse will you marry me?�
�Yes sir, if ye�ll kindly be.�

4. Where will the wedding be?
Down at the foot of an ivy tree

5. What will the supper be?
Cakes and bannocks and cinnamon tea

6. Now we're all in very good cheer
If only we had some music here

7. In came the bumble bee
With his bagpipe on his knee 

8.Now we're all in very good cheer
If we had some dancing here

9. In came the butterfly
Swore she'd dance until she died 

10. Suddenly there was a terrible din
The cat and the kittens came tumbling in

11. The frog arose in a terrible fright
He doffed his hat and he said goodnight

12. But as the frog was crossing the stream
A big duck came and gabobbled him up
