The Many Versions of Frog Went A Courtin’

Saturday, May 12th, 2007

I’ve been having a lot of fun researching the history of the popular song Frog Went A Courtin’. There are many versions. It originated in Scotland over 450 years ago. There’s also a well-known British version called A Frog He Would A-wooing Go, which I’ve written about previously.

This song has also traveled around Canada and throughout the US. Along the way, many versions have cropped up – some with different tunes and names. One is called King Kong Kitchie Kitchie Ki-Me-O, while another is called Sing Song Kitty (Won’t You Ki-Me-O).

I think it would be interesting to collect and post different versions on Mama Lisa’s World. If you know any versions of King Kong Kitchie Kitchie Ki-Me-O or Sing Song Kitty, or any interesting variations of Frog Went A Courtin, please comment below.

Thanks!

Lisa

Does Anyone Know a Song with the Line “”There was a little mouse who lived on a hill”"?

Dear Mama Lisa,

I found your website while I was looking for the lyrics to a song my dad used to sing to me when I was a little girl driving down the road. It starts out like this…

There was a little mouse who lived on a hill, uh-huh, uh-huh

There was a little mouse who lived on a hill, uh-huh, uh-huh

There was a little mouse who lived on a hill he was rough and tough like buffalo bill, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh

The song then goes on to tell a story about the little mouse meeting a girl mouse and getting married under a sycamore tree etc. If you could help me with the lyrics, if you know them, I would be very grateful.

Thanks for any help you can give me,

Felicia Saathoff
