Tekst piosenki:
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! says Anthony Rowley.
So off he set with his opera hat,
Heigho! says Rowley,
And on the way he met with a Rat.
With a rowley, powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho! says Anthony Rowley.
"Now pray, Mr. Rat, won't you come with me,"
Heigho! says Rowley,
"Kind Mrs. Mousey for to see?"
With a rowley, powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho! says Anthony Rowley.
And when they came to Mousey's hall,
Heigho! says Rowley,
They gave a knock and they gave a call.
With a rowley, powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho! says Anthony Rowley.
"Pray, Mrs. Mouse, are you within?"
Heigho! says Rowley,
"Yes, kind sirs, I'm sitting to spin."
With a rowley, powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho! says Anthony Rowley.
"Pray, Mrs. Mouse, will you give us some beer?"
Heigho! says Rowley,
"For Froggy and I are fond of good cheer."
With a rowley, powley, gammon and spinach.
Heigho! says Anthony Rowley.
"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, gammon and spinach,
Heigho! says Anthony Rowley.
"Indeed, Mrs. Mouse," replied the frog,
Heigho! says Rowley,
"A cold has made me as hoarse as a hog."
With a rowley, powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho! says Anthony Rowley.
"Since you have caught cold, Mr. Frog," Mousey said,
Heigho! says Rowley,
"I'll sing you a song that I have just made."
With a rowley, powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho! says Anthony Rowley.
But while they were all a merry-making,
Heigho! says Rowley,
A cat and her kittens came tumbling in.
With a rowley, powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho! says Anthony Rowley.
The cat she seized the rat by the crown;
Heigho! says Rowley,
And the kittens pulled the little mouse down.
With a rowley, powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho! says Anthony Rowley.
This put Mr. Frog in a terrible fright,
Heigho! says Rowley,
He put on his hat, and he wished them goodnight.
With a rowley, powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho! says Anthony Rowley.
But as Mr. Frog was crossing the brook,
Heigho! says Rowley,
A lily-white duck came and gobbled him up.
With a rowley, powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho! says Anthony Rowley.
So there was an end of one, two, and three,
Heigho! says Rowley,
The rat, the mouse, and little froggee!
With a rowley, powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho! says Anthony Rowley.
