A Frog he would a-wooing go,
Heigho,
says rowley!
Whether his Mother would let him or no.
With
a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho,

So off he set with his opera-hat,
Heigho,
says rowley!
And on his way he met with a Rat.
With
a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho,
says Anthony rowley!

“Pray, Mr. Rat, will you go with me,”
Heigho,
says rowley!
“Pretty Miss mousey for to see?”
With
a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho,
says Anthony rowley!

Now they soon arrived at Mousey’s Hall,
Heigho,
says rowley!
And gave a loud knock, and gave a loud call.
With
a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho,
says ANTHONY ROWLEY!
[Illustration]
“Pray, Miss MOUSEY, are you within?”
Heigho,
says ROWLEY!
“Oh, yes, kind Sirs, I’m sitting to spin.”
With
a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho,
says ANTHONY ROWLEY!

“Pray, Miss MOUSE, will you give us some beer?”
Heigho,

“For Froggy and I are fond of good cheer.”

“Pray, Mr. FROG, will you give us a song?
Heigho,

“But let it be something that’s not very
long.”
With

Heigho,
says ANTHONY ROWLEY!
