Richard Dyer-Bennet sings "The Frog and the Mouse" (1943)

The minstrel recorded this English folk song in 1943. It is an early variant of Frog Went A-Courting. Dyer-Bennet would record that song on his own record label in 1958, heard here at    • Froggie Went A-Courting   And here is a link to my Dyer-Bennet playlist:    • Richard Dyer-Bennet (1913-1991)   There was a frog lived in a well, Whipsee diddledee dandy dee, He loved a mouse lived in a mill, Whipsee diddledee dandy dee. The frog he would a-wooing ride, With sword and pistol by his side. With a harum scarum diddle dum darum, Whipsee diddledee dandy dee. He rode till he came to Mouse's Hall, Whipsee diddledee dandy dee, Where he most tenderly did call, Whipsee diddledee dandy dee. "Oh! Mistress Mouse, are you at home? And if you are, oh pray, come down." With a harum scarum diddle dum darum, Whipsee diddledee dandy dee. "My Uncle Rat is not at home; Whipsee diddledee dandy dee, I dare not for my life come down." Whipsee diddledee dandy dee. But Uncle Rat he soon came home, Says "Who's been here while I've been gone?" With a harum scarum diddle dum darum, Whipsee diddledee dandy dee. "Here's been a fine young gentleman, Whipsee diddledee dandy dee, Who swears he'll marry me if he can." Whipsee diddledee dandy dee. Then Uncle Rat gave his consent, And made a handsome settlement. With a harum scarum diddle dum darum, Whipsee diddledee dandy dee. There was ginger beer and lemonade, Whipsee diddledee dandy dee, Two potted larks and marmalade, Whipsee diddledee dandy dee. Four woodchucks and a venison pie, I would that at that feast were I! With a harum scarum diddle dum darum, Whipsee diddledee dandy dee. Then frog and mouse lived happily, Whipsee diddledee dandy dee, And they were blessed with children three, Whipsee diddledee dandy dee. And one did croak and two did squeak, They had long tails and webbed feet! And a harum scarum diddle dum darum, Whipsee diddledee dandy dee.
