about

Another very old song with many versions...we borrowed from bob dylan who had 19 verses and wrote one of our own so each band member had their own solo verse. To record it, I set up the tracks before hand and set up a vocal booth for the kids to experience a real studio session.

lyrics

Atira-
Frog went a-courtin', and he did ride, Uh-huh,
Frog went a-courtin', and he did ride, Uh-huh,
Frog went a-courtin', and he did ride.
With a sword and a pistol by his side, Uh-huh.

Well he rode up to Miss Mousey's door, Uh-huh,
Well he rode up to Miss Mousey's door, Uh-huh,

To buy his niece a wedding gown, Uh-huh

Where will the wedding supper be? Uh-huh,
Where will the wedding supper be? Uh-huh,
Where will the wedding supper be?
Way down yonder in a hollow tree, Uh-huh

Aubriana-
What will the wedding supper be? Uh-huh,
What will the wedding supper be? Uh-huh,
What will the wedding supper be?
Fried mosquito in a black-eye pea, Uh-huh.
