9. They eat whisde pig all they could hold; They eat whisde pig all they could hold; Till there was none left in the bowl. Tam-a rig-tail fodi dink di-de-o.
10.1 set a steel trap up on the hill; I set a steel trap up on the hill; Now we'll have whisde pig at our will. Tam-a rig-tail fodi dink di-de-o.
11. One old woman was the mother of us all; One old woman was the mother of us all; She fed us on whisde pig as soon as we could crawl. Tam-a rig-tail fodi dink di-de-o.

"Froggie Went a-Courting." Obtained from Miss Julia Stokes, Crossnore, Avery County, North Carolina, January, 1932, who recorded the song from the singing of Talton Aldridge.
1. Froggie went a-courting and he did ride — ur-hur; Froggie went a-courting and he did ride
With a sword and pistol by his side — ur-hur.
2. He rode up to Miss Mouse's door — ur-hur; He rode up to Miss Mouse's door;
He hit it so hard that made it roar — ur-hur. |
