THE FROG WOULD A-WOOIN G GO So off he set with his opera hat, Heigho, says Rowley, And on the road he met with a rat. With a rowley powley, etc.

'Pray, Mr. Rat, will you go with me, Heigho, says Rowley, Kind Mistress Mousey for to see?' With a rowley powley, etc.

And when they came to Mousey's hall, Heigho, says Rowley, They gave a loud knock, and they gave a loud call. With a rowley powley, etc.

'Pray, Mistress Mouse, are you within?' Heigho, says Rowley. 'Oh yes, kind sirs, I'm sitting to spin.' With a rowley powley, etc.

'Pray, Mistress Mouse, will you give us some beer? Heigho, says Rowley, For Froggy and I are fond of good cheer.' With a rowley powley, etc.

'Pray, Mr. Frog, will you give us a song? Heigho, says Rowley, But let it be something that's not very long.' With a rowley powley, etc.
