A frog he would a-wooing go,
Heigh ho! says Rowley,
A frog he would a-wooing go,
Whether his mother would let him or no.
With a rowley, powley*, gammon, and spinach,
Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley.

So off he set with his opera hat,
Heigh ho! says Rowley,
So off he set with his opera hat,
And on the road he met with a rat,
With a rowley, powley, gammon, and spinach,
Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley.

Pray, Mr. Rat will you go with me?
Heigh ho! says Rowley,
Pray, Mr. Rat will you go with me,
Kind Mrs. Mousey for to see…
With a rowley, powley, gammon, and spinach,
Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley.

They came to the door of Mousey's hall,
Heigh ho! says Rowley,
They gave a loud knock, and they gave a loud call.
With a rowley, powley, gammon, and spinach,
Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley.

Pray, Mrs. Mouse are you within?
Heigh ho! says Rowley,
Oh yes, kind sirs, I'm sitting to spin.
With a rowley, powley, gammon, and spinach,
Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley.

Pray, Mrs. Mouse will you give us some beer?
Heigh ho! says Rowley,
For Froggy and I are fond of good cheer.
With a rowley, powley, gammon, and spinach,
Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley.

Pray, Mr. Frog will you give us a song?
Heigh ho! says Rowley,
Let it be something that's not very long.
With a rowley, powley, gammon, and spinach,
Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley.

Indeed, Mrs. Mouse, replied Mr. Frog,
Heigh ho! says Rowley,
A cold has made me as hoarse as a dog.
With a rowley, powley, gammon, and spinach,
Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley.

Since you have a cold, Mr. Frog, Mousey said,
Heigh ho! says Rowley,
I'll sing you a song that I've just made.
With a rowley, powley, gammon, and spinach,
Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley.

But while they were all a-merry-making
Heigh ho! says Rowley,
A cat and her kittens came tumbling in.
With a rowley, powley, gammon, and spinach,
Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley.

The cat she seized the rat by the crown,
Heigh ho! says Rowley,
The kittens they pulled the little mouse down.
With a rowley, powley, gammon, and spinach,
Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley.

This put Mr. Frog in a terrible fright,
Heigh ho! says Rowley.
He took up his hat and he wished them goodnight.
With a rowley, powley, gammon, and spinach,
Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley.

But as Froggy was crossing over a brook,
Heigh ho! says Rowley.
A lily white duck came and gobbled him up.
With a rowley, powley, gammon, and spinach,
Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley.

So there was the end of one, two, three,
Heigh ho! says Rowley.
The rat, the mouse, and the little froggy.
With a rowley, powley, gammon, and spinach,
Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley.

Una rana a cortejar quería ir
¡Hi ho! dice Rowley
Una rana a cortejar quería ir
Que su madre quisiera o no dejarlo ir
Con un rowley powley*, jamón y espinacas
¡Hi ho! dice Anthony Rowley.

Pues con chistera puesta salió
¡Hi ho! dice Rowley
Pues con chistera puesta salió
Y en camino una rata encontró
Con un rowley powley, jamón y espinacas
¡Hi ho! dice Anthony Rowley.

Señor Rata, por favor ¿vendría Ud conmigo?
Hi ho! dice Rowley
Señor Rata, por favor ¿vendría Ud conmigo?
Ver a la Señorita Ratón, que soy su amigo
Con un rowley powley, jamón y espinacas
¡Hi ho! dice Anthony Rowley.

A la puerta de Señorita Ratón llegaron
Hi ho! dice Rowley
Un gran grito dieron y muy fuerte llamaron
Con un rowley powley, jamón y espinacas
¡Hi ho! dice Anthony Rowley.

Señorita Ratón, ¿está Ud en su casita?
Hi ho! dice Rowley
Oh sí, señores míos, estoy hilando, sentadita
Con un rowley powley, jamón y espinacas
¡Hi ho! dice Anthony Rowley.

Señorita Ratón, por favor, ¿su cerveza es para quién?
Hi ho! dice Rowley
Pues a Rana y a mí nos gusta comer bien
Con un rowley powley, jamón y espinacas
¡Hi ho! dice Anthony Rowley.

Le ruego, Señor Rana, cántenos algo
Hi ho! dice Rowley
Un canto que no sea muy largo
Con un rowley powley, jamón y espinacas
¡Hi ho! dice Anthony Rowley

De verdad, Señorita Ratón, Señor Rana contestó
Hi ho! dice Rowley
Un mal frío muy ronco me dejó
Con un rowley powley, jamón y espinacas
¡Hi ho! dice Anthony Rowley

Ya que está ronco, Señor Rana, le cantaré,
Hi ho! dice Rowley
Dijo Ratón, una canción que ahorita inventé
Con un rowley powley, jamón y espinacas
¡Hi ho! dice Anthony Rowley

Pero mientras estaban festejando
Hi ho! dice Rowley
Un gato y sus gatitos entraron brincando
Con un rowley powley, jamón y espinacas
¡Hi ho! dice Anthony Rowley

El gato pilló la rata por su cabecita
Hi ho! dice Rowley
Los gatitos revolcaron la señorita
Con un rowley powley, jamón y espinacas
¡Hi ho! dice Anthony Rowley

A Señor Rana, un gran susto le dio
Hi ho! dice Rowley
Tomó su sombrero y se despidió
Con un rowley powley, jamón y espinacas
¡Hi ho! dice Anthony Rowley

Pero cuando Rana el río cruzó
Hi ho! dice Rowley
Vino un pato blanco como lirio y se lo tragó
Con un rowley powley, jamón y espinacas
¡Hi ho! dice Anthony Rowley

De uno, dos, tres, se acabó la vidita
Hi ho! dice Rowley
El ratón, la rata y la ranita
Con un rowley powley, jamón y espinacas
¡Hi ho! dice Anthony Rowley.
