When Colin Went A'Frogging
When Colin went a'frogging,
To see what he could catch,
He caught a little frog
And made him play fetch.
Colin loved his frog
And his frog loved him.
So Colin named him Baby Jim.
Colin played with Jim night and day,
Until the day Jim hopped away.
Colin's mother said do not cry,
For when Jim was in captivity,
He could not eat a fly.
