A FROG HE WOULD A-WOOING GO.
A Froe he would a-wooing go,
Heigho, says Rowley,
Whether his mother would let him or no.
With a rowley powley, gammon and spinach,
. Heigho, says Anthony Rowley!
So off he set with his opera hat,
Heigho, says Rowley,
And on the road he met with a rat.
With a rowley powley, &c.
“Pray, Mr. Rat, will you go with me,
Heigho, says Rowley,
Kind Mrs. Mousey for to see?”
With a rowley powley, &c.
When they came to the door of Mousey’s hall,
Heigho, says Rowley,
They gave a loud knock, and they gave a loud call.
With a rowley powley, &c.
“Pray, Mrs. Mouse, are you within?”
Heigho, says Rowley,
“Qh, yes, kind sirs, I’m sitting to spin.”
With a rowley powley, &c.
