There was a jolly frog in the river did swim, O!

HNR 206

a
There was a jolly frog in the river did swim, O!
And a comely black crow lived by the river brim, O!
Come on shore, come on shore,
Said the crow to the frog, and then, O!
No, you'll bite me, no, you'll bite me,
Said the frog to the crow again, O!

b
But there is sweet music on yonder green hill, O!
And you'll be a dancer, a dancer in yellow,
All in yellow, all in yellow,
Said the crow to the frog, and then, O!
All in yellow, all in yellow,
Said the frog to the crow again, O!

c
Farewell, ye little fishes, farewell every good fellow,
For I'm going to be a dancer, a dancer in yellow.
Oh, be ware, take care,
Said the fish to the frog, and then, O!
All in yellow, all in yellow,
Said the frog to the fish again, O!

d
The frog he came swimming, a-swimming to land, O!
The crow he came hopping to lend him a hand, O!
Sir, I thank you, sir, I thank you,
Said the frog to the crow, and then, O!
You are welcome, most welcome,
Said the crow to the frog again, O!

e
But where is the music on yonder green hill, O?
And where are the dancers, the dancers in yellow?
All in yellow, all in yellow,
Said the frog to the crow again, O!
They are hrer, said the crow,
And ate him up there and then, O!
