Uncle Rat Went Out to Ride (The Frog and The Mouse)

Uncle Rat went out to ride
Kitty alone, Kitty alone
Uncle Rat went out to ride
Kitty alone and I
Uncle Rat went out to ride
Sword and buckle by his side
Ma cax macari duck and a dil
Kitty alone and I

Lady Mouse, will marry me?
Kitty alone, Kitty alone
Lady Mouse, will marry me?
Kitty alone and I
Lady Mouse, will marry me?
Ask my Uncle Rat, says she
Ma cax macari duck and a dil
Kitty alone and I

Uncle Rat, will you marry Lady Mouse?
Kitty alone, Kitty alone
Uncle Rat, will you marry Lady Mouse?
Kitty alone and I
Uncle Rat, will you marry Lady Mouse?
Yes, kind sir, and half my house
Ma cax macari duck and a dil
Kitty alone and I

Lady Mouse, where will the wedding be?
Kitty alone, Kitty alone
Lady Mouse, where will the wedding be?
Kitty alone and I
Lady Mouse, where will the wedding be?
Ask my Uncle Rat, says she
Ma cax macari duck and a dil
Kitty alone and I

Uncle Rat, where will the wedding be?
Kitty alone, Kitty alone
Uncle Rat, where will the wedding be?
Kitty alone and I
Uncle Rat, where will the wedding be?
Up at the top of a holly tree
Ma cax macari duck and a dil
Kitty alone and I

Oh you're drunk, your drunk" She said "and still you cannot see" "that's a little barrow-pig your mother sent to me" well i have travelled round a hundred miles or more and a saddle on a barrow-pig I've never seen before

Oh, as I came home the other night my darling wife to see I seen a stick behind the door where my old stick should be I called my wife and said to her You're very untrue to me, or what stick is that behind the door where my old stick should be?

Oh you're drunk, your drunk" she said and still you cannot see" That's a little podge stick (?) well i have travelled round a hundred miles or more and a silver mounted podge stick (?) I've never seen before.

As I came home the other night my darling wife to see I seen a head within the bed where my old should be I called my wife and said to her You're very untrue to me or what head is that within the bed where my old head should be?

Oh you're drunk, your drunk, she said and still you cannot see that's your poor old mother who came to visit me Well I have travelled round for a hundred miles or more and whiskers on a woman I never seen before.

As I came home the other night my darling wife to see I seen a coat within the bed where my old coat should be I called my wife and said to her You're very untrue to me or what coat is that in the bed where my old coat should be

Oh you're drunk, your drunk, she said and still you cannot see that's a woollen blanket your mother sent to me Well I have travelled round for a hundred miles or more and buttons on a blanket I never seen before.
