Frog he Would a Wooing Go / Kitty Alone / Mr. Frog / The Wedding of Frog and Mouse / Frog Went A-Courting (Roud No. 16) - Sung by Seamus Ennis who learned it from Mrs. Elizabeth "Bess" Cronin of Ballyvourney, County Cork, Ireland. Recorded by Jean Ritchie and her husband
The Marriage of the Frog and the Mouse is the earliest version in print of A Frog He Would A-Wooin' Go. It's from 1611, from a book called Melismata: Musical Fancies. It was printed in London. Reference of the song is found even earlier in print in The Complaynt of Scotland (1549).
