This page is part of the Ravenscroft Songbook.

It was the Frogge in the well,
Humble-dum, humble-dum,
And the merrie Mouse in the Mill,
tweele, tweedle twino.

The Frogge would a woing ride,
Humble-dum, humble-dum,
Sword and buckler by his side,
tweele, tweedle twino.

When he was vpon his high horse set,
Humble-dum, humble-dum,
His boots they shone as blacke as jet,
tweele, tweedle twino.

When she came to the merry millpin
Humble-dum, humble-dum,
Lady Mouse beene you with him?
tweele, tweedle twino.

Then came out the dusty Mouse
Humble-dum, humble-dum,
I am Lady of this house,
tweele, tweedle twino.

Hast thou any minde of me?
Humble-dum, humble-dum,
I have e'ne great minde of thee,
tweele, tweedle twino.

Who shall this marriage make?
Humble-dum, humble-dum,
Our Lord which is the rat.
tweele, tweedle twino.

What shall we haue to our supper?
Humble-dum, humble-dum,
Three beanes in a pound of butter,
tweele, tweedle twino.

When supper they were at
Humble-dum, humble-dum,
The Frog, the Mouse, and euen the Rat,
tweele, tweedle twino.

Then came in gib our cat
Humble-dum, humble-dum,
And catcht the mouse euen by the backe,
tweele, tweedle twino.

Then did they separate,
Humble-dum, humble-dum,
And the frog lept on the floore so flat
tweele, tweedle twino.

Then came in Dicke our Drake,
Humble-dum, humble-dum,
And drew the frogge euen to the lake,
tweele, tweedle twino.

The Rat run up the wall,
Humble-dum, humble-dum,
A goodly company, the diuell goe with all,
tweele, tweedle twino.
