REQ: "Froggy Went'a Courtin'"
Timothy Boisvert
Hi,
I was searching through some old records and found this Magic Media Talking
Story record with the song "Froggy Went'a Courtin'" on it. I was wondering
if anyone knows what song this is and if they have the chords/tabs to it.
It's the old song that goes "Froggy went'a courtin' on a fine spring day
uh-huh, uh-huh
Froggy went'a courtin on a
fine spring day uh-huh, uh-huh..."
Thanks in advance!

I'm interested in chords too - have not been able to figure them out as
I'm not too experienced at that.
I once found the lyrics on Digital Traditions web site - but my hard disk
crashed since. You can do a search engine search for them and pull the
lyrics at least.
