two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
Froggie went a'courtin', he did ride, uh-huh
Froggie went a'courtin', he did ride, uh-huh
Froggie went a'courtin', he did ride
Sword and pistol by his side
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh

Four ladies chain across the ring now
Chain them back and promenade
Froggie went a'courtin', he did ride
Sword and pistol by his side
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads promenade halfway
Sides go right & left thru I say
Square thru in the middle of the floor
Dosado and do an eight chain four
Froggie went a'courtin', he did ride, uh-huh
Swing that girl and promenade
Froggie went a'courtin', he did ride
Sword and pistol by his side
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh


ALTERNATE LYRICS

Sauntered up to Molly Mouse's side, uh-huh
Sauntered up to Molly Mouse's side, uh-huh
Sauntered up to Molly Mouse's side
Said "Miss Mouse, won't you be my bride?"
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh


Not without my Uncle Rat's consent, oh-no
Not without my Uncle Rat's consent, uh-huh
Nor without my Uncle Rat's consent
I wouldn't marry the president
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh


That's all buddy, better hit the road...farewell
That's all buddy, better hit the road...goodbye
That's all buddy, better hit the road
You ain't no frog, you're a horned toad
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
